Comments on: Federally funded grape research? It’s peanuts http://www.drvino.com/2007/10/29/federally-funded-grape-research-its-peanuts/ wine talk that goes down easy Fri, 21 Nov 2008 06:37:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: John Witherspoon http://www.drvino.com/2007/10/29/federally-funded-grape-research-its-peanuts/#comment-29904 John Witherspoon Wed, 31 Oct 2007 18:04:09 +0000 http://drvino.com/2007/10/29/federally-funded-grape-research-its-peanuts/#comment-29904 This is awesome! I agree that it is great news and new news, I had no idea. I think it would be fare to do something similar to the Australian Wine Research institute and have it partially funded by the wineries. I believe the way they have it setup is they pay a fee/tax based on the amout of gallons they produce annually. In this sort of system everyone has an equal share in the research regardless of size, which I can see may be a problem as you point out for the 4,970 odd "little guy" wineries. Good article.
