International Year of the Vine

Celebrating the year 1987 decreed by the International Vine and Wine Office, this stamp highlights Tunisian viticulture through clusters of black and white grapes of great finesse. The illustration links local production to international quality standards symbolized by the OIV seal and the national flag. This subject underlines the economic and historical weight of the vine in Tunisia, a legacy of millennia-old traditions dating back to the Carthaginian era. The message focuses on the excellence of the land's produce and the country's participation in major global agricultural promotion cycles.
