* any hot climate has the potential to harvest high brix, the Central Valley in California, Spain, Australia, parts of Chile, etc. Many parts of the States do not have that issue but struggle to drop the acids/ raise the sugar. And,, some places are just right in France and California and South Africa etc.
* my observation is that five percent are angels, ninety percent are basically good and five percent of the bosses bend the rules which includes producing a few extra bottles of expensive wine, or creating false stories on the internet. My feel is that we as a species operate best with checks against too much power or influence in this five percent of the population. ,,,, I deleted examples called food adulteration Herba Spain fired that VP
* YUP,, some of the rules are funny, as we imported ship loads of rice which had live contamination but if an interesting genetic breeding sample was imported we had to run it through quarantine,,, probably since it was easier to look at 100 grams. As a world community we make mistakes every year, the human species has been lucky so far.
* I am pretty sure Britain will survive no matter what the EU does in regulations. There are lots of exceptions where a non conforming product has to be sold in the export market, or,, ?why would I be on a patent for grot rize?, there isn’t any sold in the US market. ,,, The customer is right.
