Instituto do Vinho, do Bordado e do Artesanato da Madeira, Funchal

The Madeira Wine, Embroidery, and Handicraft Institute (Instituto do Vinho, do Bordado e do Artesanato da Madeira), IVBAM, was created in 2006 by merging the Madeira Wine Institute and the Madeira Embroidery, Tapestry, and Handicraft Institute. IVBAM is responsible for supervising wine-growing activities, certifying and controlling the quality of Madeira wine, and promoting regional handicrafts.

The Madeira Wine Institute was established in 1979 to ensure proper discipline in the production and sale of Madeira wine and coordinate wine-growing activities in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The Institute proposed legal and administrative measures to adapt viticulture and wine production to the standards of the then-European Economic Community.

The Madeira Wine, Embroidery, and Handicraft Institute aims to continue supporting the Wine, Embroidery, and Regional Handicrafts sectors, promote their products, and preserve the credibility gained by the predecessor institutes.
