Selling prices for liquor in the country established in 2009. Last year, the Rosalkogolregulirovanie conducted twice the price increase and now, for example, the minimum cost of a half-liter of vodka is 220 rubles. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree that gives the state the right to control the price of wine and champagne.
«We have several years sought the introduction of a minimum selling price for alcohol products produced from grapes. – Said the head of the Union of winemakers and viticulturists Leonid Popovich. – It will put a barrier to dumping and help develop the industry. As is known, according to the state program of agricultural development in five years in Russia should be 140 thousand. Hectares of vineyards. Now, along with the Crimea, about 100 thousand. To achieve this goal it is necessary to develop processing and marketing. Until recently, have not yet jumped course, our winemakers was hard to compete with products made of Italian and Spanish wine, because of their low cost. Now a similar situation with the Ukrainian wine. It is still cheaper than domestic. In addition, the minimum selling price sets a screen, and otherwise manipulated. For example, in the regions there are cases where large producers initially lowered the price below the cost of clearing the sh elves from the competition, and then again raised. FAS to deal with it is difficult, and the process takes a long time. There are other cases. Manufacturer, to repay debt owed to the bank sells the wine is actually at a loss, thus making the imbalance in the market ».
Popovich believes that the measure taken to combat counterfeiting is not particularly helpful. “Counterfeiting is a wine to which the excise tax is not paid. – The expert continues. – In our industry, no such problem. More counterfeit when unscrupulous manufacturers to reduce the price of its products dilutes any entanglement or plain water ».
According to the estimates of the Union of winemakers and viticulturists now the minimum selling price for wine and champagne should be approximately 90-100 rubles bottle volume of 0.75 liters. At the same time in Russia annually consumed about one billion liters of so-called still and sparkling wines. Half – it is the fault of domestic production.
In general, the decision on state regulation can be put on a par with other measures of the state to support the Russian wine industry. Firstly, it is a return in 2015 of alcohol advertising in the media. Second, the summer will take amendments to the law “On state regulation of production and turnover of ethyl alcohol …”, which will oblige producers on the European model indicated on the label and dry sparkling wine product type: table wines as well as wines, protected geographical indication ( region), or place of origin, ie the fields where the grapes are grown.
For the last two types of wine production excise zeroed or make a purely symbolic. Now he is 8 cents per liter of wine. It is expected that the number of these excise stamps will determine the self-regulatory organization – the Union of winemakers and viticulturists Russia. Visually, these marks will be different from the ordinary. At the same time compensate for the loss of the budget going through the wine beverages, primarily fortified wines. They will increase the excise tax.
By the way, according to the amendments, the regulation of the production of grapes and wine will be divided. Control the production of grapes, including the allocation of subsidies and state aid as a whole, will be the Ministry of Agriculture and regulate the turnover of wine, prices and issuing stamps – Rosalkogolregulirovanie.
