Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin
The Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin (translatable in English as: "Fraternity of Knights of the Wine-Tasting Cup") is an exclusive bacchanalian fraternity of Burgundy wine enthusiasts, originally founded in 1703 as the ''Ordre de la Boisson'' ("Order of the Beverage"), subsequently revived under its current name in 1934. It is headquartered at the 12th century Château of Clos de Vougeot in the Côte d'Or region of France. It maintains chapters worldwide, called ''Sous-Commanderies'', but because of its Gallic origins, its name and many of its ceremonial titles are always maintained in French.
== Organization ==
The Confrérie is governed by a ''Grand Conseil'' of ''Chevaliers''. Its president is called the ''Grand-maître'' and its secretary is called the ''Grand connétable''. In the U.S., the organization delegates authority to a ''Grand pilier'', who is also assisted by a ''Grand connétable''. Candidates for membership are approved by the ''Grand pilier'' or ''Grand connétable'', and are confirmed by the ''Grand Conseil''.
Members are hierarchically ranked (in descending order) as ''Grand officier'', ''Officier-commandeur'', ''Commandeur'', and ''Chevalier''. The Confrérie counts among its membership businessmen, luminaries, and celebrities, including politicians and military leaders, diplomats, executives, scholars, athletes, musicians, and artists. During initiation ceremonies, members wear ornate robes similar to the academic gowns worn by Doctors of Theology in sixteenth-century France.
The primary aims of the organisation are "to hold in high regard and promote Burgundian produce, particularly her great wines and regional cuisine. To maintain and revive the festivities, customs and traditions of Burgundian folklore," and "to encourage people from all over the world to visit Burgundy."〔''Confrérie des Chevaliers du Tastevin'', booklet (June 1959).〕
