Минский завод вин прекратит поставки в Россию после слов о «шмурдяке»
Минский завод виноградных вин (МЗВВ) заявил о намерении прекратить поставки вина в Россию и прокомментировал заявление представителей российского винодельческого рынка относительно качества своей продукции. Текст заявления есть в распоряжении «РБК Вино».
«Основной объем винодельческой продукции реализуется на внутреннем рынке Республики Беларусь. Поставка вин в адрес российских дистрибьюторов осуществляется в тестовом режиме и в незначительных объемах, так как производственные мощности предприятия ограничены. Кроме того, учитывая уплачиваемые нами таможенные пошлины при ввозе европейских виноматериалов в Республику Беларусь и рост цен на них, МЗВВ планирует прекратить производство вин на экспорт в Российскую Федерацию», — заявили в МЗВВ.
Как сообщал Коммерсантъ, российские алкогольные дистрибьюторы получили право ввозить в страну вина от МЗВВ. При этом названия продукции, которая завозится в Россию, сходны с наименованиями вин, которые производятся на Западе.
Глава винного дома «Абрау-Дюрсо», председатель российской части Российско-Китайского Комитета дружбы, мира и развития Борис Титов заявлял, что поставки в Россию продукции МЗВВ — это восстановление канала сбыта на отечественном рынке продукции из импортного балка. «Того самого виноматериала, который в обиходе получил прозвище «шмурдяк», — сказал Титов.
