Wine in Russia is considerably more expensive
August 24, the price of wine will increase by 15-25%, said the Director of the center of researches Federal and the regional markets of intoxicating beverages Vadim Drobiz.
According to him, if Russia will ban imports of wine (wine not bottled in consumer packaging), wine in the country is not just more expensive, and will be terrible deficit.
"Imported wine in bottles and so expensive, and the cheaper it will be. From Monday (August 24) importers increase by 15-25% prices for wine products," announced Vadim Drobiz.
He also said that if Russia used its ban on imports of wine, the wine in the country not just more expensive, and will be terrible deficit. "Last year, residents of the Russian Federation drank wine, sparkling champagne, wine, cognac about 1.6 billion litres. From their own grapes produced 350 million liters. In other words we provide ourselves with the fermenting juice by approximately 25%. This is a technical grapes. There is another table grapes that we eat in its pure form. Such grapes have only 10% domestic and 90% - import", - quotes "Russian news service".
At that moment the view was also expressed that to work in the direction of import substitution is necessary. "The mission is correct, it is unlikely we will be able to solve earlier than in 10 years. But if you observe a condition that will be planting vineyards, and we are not doing this. We can't afford that nor the business, nor the state," the expert continued.
Earlier it became known that the head of the Ministry of agriculture Alexander Tkachev is going to ban the import of wine materials. In his opinion, the situation, when Russian factories act shops of the bottling plant are unacceptable.
