Tomić Interviewed by BBC on Prošek Scandal


The Prošek v Prosecco debate shows no sign of abating, and the Croatian winemakers are keeping up the pressure in an attempt to overturn this absurd ruling. As one of the country's leading producers of prošek, Bastijana has been in the international media recently, as Associated Press visited Jelsa to get the opinions of Hvar's winemakers, and the resulting Associated Press article was distributed around the world via various media outlets.

Bastijana was in the news again on May 7, as Janica Tomić, daughter of Andro, gave an interview to the BBC on the scandal, which featured on the BBC Podcast of the day (you can listen to it here by clicking on this link - the interview starts at 35:10 minutes).  A great performance from Janica, and an interesting admission from the EU spokesperson interviewed that he had not actually tried prošek, although he was familiar with prosecco. Perhaps if the EU bureaucrats got their noses out of the paperwork and looked at the  absurdity of the situation, the decision would be overruled.

The fight continues...
