I read this article with interest as Scotland has no equivalent, at a time when an equivalent Organisation is required. There is a significant and rapid 'shake-down' going on between the Global multi-nationals who are investing heavily in the pursuit of better margins (profits) by investing in volume, computerised mass-production, G M ingredients and Nanotechnology applications, whilst small, artisan producers are the only ones available to preserve, protect and promote a genuine tradition of intrinsic quality. It's a relatively simple situation. So let the consumer (or should I say 'customer') decide. Wake up Scotland ! … I read this article with interest as Scotland has no equivalent, at a time when an equivalent Organisation is required.

Too often, industry associations represent only the interests of large producers (SWA anybody?), and the little guys are ignored. Good for DISCUS for reaching out to craft distillers.
