"I was incredibly depressed with a number of importers and distributors in the UK who are now talking about 'liquid' rather than wine. It's all about the price of the 'liquid' rather than the quality. It's what the supermarket groups and importers are demanding.
It's all about driving the price down; quality is very much a secondary consideration. What the buyers are after is wine at sub-$30 a case. Taking into account the bottling costs, what’s left to put into the 'liquid'? There is only one answer: screwing down the grape grower." |
