Brazil proposes protectionist measures (Brazil)

Brazil is considering raising the tariff on wine imports to protect its domestic wine industry. Proposals were announced in mid-March to hinder the expansion of imported wine into the fast-growing economy using measures such as increasing tariffs from 27% to 55% and introducing country by county quotas. Other measures suggested included imposing a minimum price, and making Portuguese front labels compulsory as well as banning terms such as organic and biodynamic, reports The Drinks Business.
