The term “food safety” is the guarantee that food – and wine – will not cause adverse effects to the health of the consumer when prepared and/or consumed according to the intended use (ABNT, 2019). A quality wine is necessarily a safe product, in this approach. This master's project will deal with the essential aspects for the development of the wine chain, in relation to the expansion of skills to generate confidence in trade, crisis prevention with the potential to reduce business reputations and preservation of the image of products and countries. Despite the importance of the topic, in Brazil there are few wine companies certified in quality and food safety standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, BRC, IFS, among others. The objective of this project is to identify the factors that influence this result, in order to propose an event that helps to overcome the interferences. In the initial stage, a survey of the state of the art and theory will be carried out through a systematic review of the literature, standards (norms, certification schemes, geographical indications and codes of practice), Brazilian legislation, press reports and events with similar purpose. Next, the positive and negative factors involved in obtaining certifications will be identified, which will be critically analyzed and compared with real Brazilian and foreign cases. Then an event will be developed that contributes to the training of wineries, to be held in hybrid mode (in person and online), to allow the participation of companies from all states of Brazil. Among the results of this project, it is expected to obtain the greatest possible adhesion of members of the top management of the companies, and that the event will allow to raise awareness about the interfering factors in the achievement of certification and the means for overcoming it. Finally, we conclude that the event is viable and relevant to the new sustainability challenges that are imposed on the wine sector.
