That pesky quota again.
No CommentsThe post before last I mentioned the issue brewing regarding sales quotas (amongst other things).
Not surprisingly, there’s an article in the local La Voz today about the bodegas’ federation defending the sales quota system.They argue the quotas are integral to the ageing of sherry (solera and criaderas) and quality would be affected if the quota system were to be dropped. I guess this is quite a powerful argument: If you draw wine off the soleras too often and in excessive quantities, quality will run down.This does, however, beg the question: Why can’t bodegas be trusted to manage their own quality?Published on 23 January 2009 · Filed under: Uncategorized;
