The seven cooperatives of the Sherry zone are
in “very satisfactory” talks with a view to joining D Coop, Andalucía’s largest "super" cooperative, based in Antequera (Málaga) but with members all over Spain. D
Coop is a group of cooperatives specialising in the production and marketing of
olives (it is the world’s largest olive oil producer), cereals meat and wine.
The Jerez coops control 55% of the annual Sherry production, and it is hoped
that they can sell more wine direct to market, reduce costs and gain the power to have more
control over grape prices.
