González
Byass has been selected as the best Spanish bodega and 5th best in
the world by the World Association of Wine Writers and Journalists (WAWWJ) in
their world rankings of wines and spirits. This is the 4th time the
firm has been the best Spanish bodega, and on top of that, their Noé PX VORS
was selected as the 3rd best wine in the world, and best in Spain. Established in 1996, the WAWWJ rankings are based on a system where points are awarded for all the awards a
bodega or wine has achieved at national and international competitions throughout
the year (February to January). González Byass received no fewer than 167
awards in that period.
After a
week of strike action the unions and Fedejerez are to meet again on Thursday at
the offices of the resolution of industrial conflict service. Fedejerez has
called on the unions to halt the strike to allow negotiations to take place in a better atmosphere, but the
unions say that they are not asking for anything new, simply that the rights
they had before in the last Convenio de la Vid are respected. Pickets will be
at Williams & Humbert, Fundador and González Byass today and the unions say
the strike has massive support, however according to Fedejerez more than half
the staff are working normally. There have been no further incidents.
