Bodegas Yuste has
released a statement seeking a rectification of the article published in the
Diario de Jerez the other day (see post 20/4/16) which said the BIB which won a medal in
Toulouse had been denounced by the Consejo. Yuste feel that the article was
tendentious and did nothing but harm to the image of Jerez, the bodegas and
their wines. The article seems to have reignited the controversy which the
Junta wanted to resolve with the issue of a report in January, and which in
Yuste’s view is absolutely clear that BIB is legal in horeca, until such time
as the regulations are changed by the Consejo, approved by the Junta and
published using established channels.
He condemned the Consejo for repeatedly refusing
to issue precintas (DO strips) for the BIB formats which in his judgement provides
evidence of constant and flagrant breach of current regulations which the Junta
should have sorted out. He went on to say that the Junta is effectively superior
and should exercise its power over the Consejo which is in breach of both the
interpretation and explanation of the regulations covering packaging and
labelling in the said report. He accused the Consejo of having a belligerent
attitude which is damaging to the trade and finished by calling for dialogue
and the fulfilment of the law.
