OREANDA-NEWS. January 26, 2010. The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS Russia) started researching the structure of the market of imported bottled grape wine and the conditions for product movement from the importers to the end consumer, reported the press-centre of FAS Russia.

An analysis of customs operations for wine supply shows that Russia imports wine from 35 countries through the world. More that 75% of the wine are supplied from the countries outside the "near abroad" (CIS), with 40% imported from three European counties - France, Italy and Spain.

FAS Russia carried out a poll among the main importers of alcohol products, specializing in supplying the most popular wines in the Russian market, which was focused on their foreign economic activities and cooperation with retail trade chains.

Currently FAS Russia is analyzing the information and will continue studying the market.
