It is practiced by several members of F.I.C.B., as is the case with our Slovenian member Brotherhoods. It is an educational and entertaining way of promoting wine expertise.   F.I.C.B. would like to encourage this practice and will develop a guide with its members who hold such tournaments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" data-id=\"7073\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Croatie_cadeau.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7073\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Croatie_cadeau.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Croatie_cadeau-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"880\" height=\"557\" data-id=\"7072\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ensemble.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ensemble.jpeg 880w, https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ensemble-300x190.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ensemble-768x486.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At the closure of the Tournament, Alan BRYDEN, President of F.I.C.B., conveyed the greetings of the wine brotherhoods members of our Federation, underlined his support to the concept of wine tournaments and encouraged the active participation of the Croatian Wine Knights in F.I.C.B.\u2019s activities and events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Brotherhood of the Croatian Wine Knights held its annual Chapter on 13-14 April in \u0160ibenik, on the Dalmatian coast.This brotherhood joined F.I.C.B. in 2023 as an active member and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7068,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[49],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-brotherhoods"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/ensemble2.jpeg","post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7084"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7084\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7099,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7084\/revisions\/7099"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7068"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.winebrotherhoods.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
