South African wine plan breaches European laws

Aug 16, 2010

A South African proposal to allow producers to water down musts would flout European law, says the WSTA.The proposal, to legalise adding water to must, has already been passed by the South Africa's Wine and Spirit Board and is now being considered by the Government.Producers say the method aims to improve quality not increase volume, as well as meet a growing trend for lower alcohol levels. It is thought it could become law by the end of 2011.
