It was inevitably
going to ruffle feathers. Recently Bodegas Yuste won a gold medal at Toulouse for the quality of
its Manzanilla Pasada in a 10 litre BIB. The Consejo intends to denounce it as
the precintas (DO seals) on the box had been issued for glass garrafas, the
only legal container for bulk wine. The Manzanilla rebels had applied for
suitable precintas, as BIBs come in different capacities to garrafas, but had
been denied as BIB is seen by the Consejo as illegal. Also disliked was Yuste’s
promotion of the prize, which was seen as distancing even further the positions
of the rebels and the Consejo and Fedejerez.

Osborne has teamed up
with Premium Beers of Spain to produce a beer aged with Sherry wood. Toro is a premium artisan beer, full
bodied with a deep copper colour and a strength of 5.5ᴼ. Notes of Sherry wood
can be detected in both the aroma and flavour. Osborne has licensed the name “Toro”
to the brewers, something it has also done with fashion items and gourmet
products. It is interesting to note that this is not Osborne’s first connection
with beer; they founded Cruz Campo in Sevilla in 1904 (now owned by heineken).
