Following a survey carried out by the European Confederation of  Independent Winegrowers (CEVI) amongst its members concerning problems met in the supply of glass bottles, responses received from France, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Slovenia are alarming.

90.1% of the winegrowers who were questioned, had to pay higher prices for bottles, 63.6% met with problems of late delivery and 55% faced breakdowns in supply.

CEVI forwarded its findings to the European Commission’s General Directorate for Competition. (Source: European Confederation of  Independent Winegrowers)
