The 60 Garvey employees are breathing
a little easier now that the Emperador deal has been done and the bodegas will not close. The
deal contemplates retaining over 40 of them, and according to Emperador the
staffing level has still not been finalised but they will retain as many as
possible. On Thursday the union representative at Complejo Bellavista received
official notification of the Emperador deal from the administrators who will
call a meeting with the workforce on Monday to give them the details of the
deal.

Final judicial approval will take up to three
months because of the August holidays. Meanwhile the bodegas are running
normally and are in pretty good shape if not quite what they once were. The
Emperador deal will guarantee more jobs than that of the Asian Alcohol
Corporation but there are inevitably still worries among the staff that some will be laid off.
International Sherry
Week will take place between the 7th and 13th of November
and Raul Vega is
planning a record-breaking tasting in México. The idea is to win a Guinness
record by having the largest number of people tasting Sherry at the same time
in the same place.There will be eight wines: Finos from Jerez and El Puerto,
Fino en Rama, Manzanilla, Oloroso, Cream, Amontillado VORS and Palo Cortado
VORS. Photos and videos will be sent to Guinness for approval.
