The Consejo Regulador
has understood that the High Court ban on BIB has immediate effect and has therefore sent a copy of
the ruling to those bodegas in Sanlúcar affected by it, advising them that no
more precintas (DO labels) will be issued and asking for any unused ones to be
returned. No more Manzanilla may be sold in BIB and that which has already been
sold should be returned. The Association of Artisan Bodegas of Sanlúcar, those
who sell BIB, say they will comment on the developments once they have analysed
their full implications. Meanwhile the Consejo will be on the lookout for
infractions.
Sherry lovers
worldwide will be participating in all kinds of Sherry related events from
tomorrow in
celebration of International Sherry Week. There will be more than 1,000 events
in over 26 countries making this III edition the biggest Sherry Week ever. This
year there is an interactive website at http://www.sherry.wine/sherryweek
where one can find out what is happening locally, and of course social media
will have lots of information. Even if there is not an event nearby, you can
always buy a bottle of Sherry and raise a glass to the sheer quality and
versatility of this unique and marvellous wine which arouses such passion in its admirers.
