What is OVID?
The Oregon Vineyard Database (OVID), is an online
service, developed by and for the Oregon vineyard
industry, to provide better communications,
information, and tools for wise management of
Oregon's vineyards. OVID is now a free tool
provided to the entire Oregon vineyard
industry. This online service is funded by fees
from charter members, and by grants from the
Oregon Wine Board and the USDA Risk Management
Agency via the Washington Wine Industry
Foundation.
