Coles, Woolies face WET fury

WA winemakers want Coles and Woolworths in the firing line when a Senate inquiry looks at how lucrative tax rebates apply in the industry. Wines of WA chief executive Larry Jorgensen said the big retailers were pushing more of their labels onto liquor store shelves and cashing in on Commonwealth tax rebates of up to $500,000 a year. New Zealand wine producers are also claiming about $25 million a year under the wine equalisation tax rebate scheme.
