When the consumer goes to the supermarket, what kind of wine they are buying actually?
In the supermarket there is wine, but mostly as a mass product, without origin, without a home, without a face and without a soul. Only the smallest part comes from the winemaker: Up to 55 percent of the wines come from large wineries, 30 percent from cooperatives.
