Article highlights:

– Vinpro wants liquor sales bans to be decided upon at provincial level, based on the local risk posed by Covid-19;

– Vinpro likened the imposition of a countrywide blanket ban on sales – aimed at preserving capacity in hospitals – to switching off the lights in an entire house when it may only be necessary to do so in one or two rooms;

– It also wants off- and on-site consumption sales of liquor to be allowed in the Western Cape, which will see the legal wine trade operating again.
