Miguel Torres, interviewed in La Revue des Vins de France:

Quote from an interview in La Revue des Vins de France:

“We [the wine trade] are going through a crisis. There’s been excess everywhere. In the New World too, but there they are much more flexible. Supply and demand is much more easily balanced in those countries. I have already experienced three crisis in Chile [Torres has a vineyard in Chile] and I remember that during one of those crisis we grafted kiwi on the vines. There you don’t wait for the government to intervene, instead you take some initiative. In Italy or France it is always the government that is supposed to take some action. You should rather alleviate the burdens [on the wine producers] to improve the competition on the market.”
