Retailers, restaurateurs criticize Russian winemaker support bill, calling it unfeasible and market-distorting.
Retailers and restaurateurs criticized a bill supporting Russian winemakers, which would require their products to occupy at least 20% of shelf space and restaurant menus. They argue the quota is technically unfeasible and economically unwise, contradicting anti-monopoly laws and distorting the market. A government source said a May 13 subcommittee meeting discussed the bill, but the business proposal for fines was not supported.
