And speaking of the growers....

As per my previous post, I have severe reservations considering certain adjustments to regulations in the wine industry.

If the growers in California aren't careful, they could be looking at a very similar situation.

It is a pretty interesting transcription of a news report and one worth reading. In the interest of time, I offer one little bit:

JOHN SFYRIS: If I had 20 semitrailers, because one semitrailer takes 20 tonnes, 20 semitrailers full of fruit, that's how much fruit that's getting to get dropped on the ground. We could place a lot of wineries here, interstate, no-one wants it.

JIM SFYRIS, GRAPE GROWER: No interest.

JOHN SFYRIS: There's no interest in it. We've had one offer for around $80-100 a tonne.

JIM SFYRIS: That's 8-10 cents a bottle.

JOHN SFYRIS: It's not worth growing it.

Think about it.
