description KWV Overview

KWV is a South African wine and spirits producer founded in 1918 as the Ko-operatieve Wijnbouwers Vereniging van Zuid-Afrika, a winegrowers' cooperative. It was created during a period of overproduction and instability and later received statutory powers that gave it a major regulatory role in the national wine industry. Following deregulation, KWV developed into a commercial company producing wine, brandy, and fortified wine. Its operations are historically associated with Paarl in the Western Cape.
