XGVRL (eXtensible GrapeVine Reporting Language) is a new open standard for environmental and social reporting in viticulture, inspired by the structure of XBRL but designed specifically for vineyards — especially urban and experimental vineyards. Its purpose is to...

How will the XGVRL work? XGVRL — the eXtensible GrapeVine Reporting Language — is a new digital standard designed to help vineyards, especially urban and innovative ones, report their environmental and social performance in a structured, transparent, and interoperable...

What is it for? Why vineyards — and those who support them — should care about XGVRL In today’s landscape, sustainability is no longer optional.Vineyards are increasingly expected to demonstrate how they manage their impact on the environment, on people, and on the...

Development timeline How we’re building XGVRL — step by step Creating a new standard is not just a technical task. It’s a process of listening, testing, adjusting — and building something that works in the real world. Here’s the roadmap we’re following to develop...

Software The technology behind XGVRL — and how it works for vineyards Part 1 – The foundation: XML and the XGVRL format At its core, XGVRL is not just a list of indicators — it’s a digital language, designed to structure sustainability data in a way that is readable...

Connectivity, sensors, and the evolving technical framework of XGVRL While XGVRL is, by design, a data and reporting standard, its development also prompts important considerations about how such data is collected in the field. This includes questions of hardware:...

Listening before standardizing: the first conversations around XGVRL As part of the initial development phase of XGVRL, we are currently conducting a series of structured interviews with a selected group of vineyards across Europe. This is not yet the experimentation...

A shared effort across networks, research, and technical innovation The development of XGVRL is made possible through the contribution of a growing ecosystem of partners — including institutional networks, scientific institutions, and technical innovators — all...
