Bodegas Osborne has announced its results for the financial year just ended
with net sales of 232 million euros, a rise of 5%. The wines and spirits
division represents 74% of sales, while those of the Cinco Jotas Iberico pork
business represent 26%, a considerable increase. Exports account for 20% of
sales. The company has also managed to reduce its debt. All this in the context
of difficult times for trade.
The Feria in Jerez is under way, with over 1 million bulbs
illuminating the fairground. There, 205 casetas are open, offering food drink
and music. Horses are everywhere, either being ridden or pulling carriages. Sherry
is everywhere and the atmosphere is fantastic. The weather has been very hot,
but luckily not oppressive.

Two new Manzanilla initiatives have been
announced by
Sanlucar’s mayor, Victor Mora. The plan is to give Manzanilla more promotion by
setting up a generic website and a wine fair. Representatives of 9 bodegas met
with the mayor and have agreed to a wine fair called the I Feria del Vino de
Sanlucar to be held between the 24th and 27th September.
The website will give full information on Manzanilla, as well as links to
bodegas and related institutions, with the aim of broadcasting the wine culture
of Sanlucar. This is an extra to the
existing Dia de la Manzanilla.
