We are delighted to announce that one of the leading UK wine import companies, Ehrmanns Ltd., have agreed to collaborate with the Fairtracing Project. Ehrmanns have a long-standing trade relationship with our Chilean project partners, the Los Robles Fairtrade Co-operative. In 2005, Ehrmanns sold just under 2 million cases, imported from 14 countries to customers in both the On and Off Trade. Established in 1875 as a traditional wine merchant, they are an independent company solely owned by their management. In the 1990s, Ehrmanns were among the first importers to source wines from Argentina and Chile. About 10% of their business is with certified Fairtrade wineries and they are members of the UK Fairtrade wine importers’ committee. A toast to our new partners!

I am administrator at a church in England anxious to use Fairtrade products and we are looking to source our Communion Wine from Fairtrade sources. We need to get a wine that will keep for a long-ish period after being opened (like Sherry or Port) – can you help please?
