[SANET-MG] is gm wine in EU?
From : The Pew Initiative Reprot on GM wine and Grapes

"Van Vuuren reported earlier that several wineries were using the ML01
yeast as of a
few years ago; it is not known if they or others are using it today or
exporting
wines containing it. The company marketing these GE yeast has no legal
obligation
to identify their customers and has not done so. Van Vuuren said he had
heard that
some European wineries were buying the yeast in California and shipping
it to
Europe. The question thus becomes, are some U.S. and European wineries
using this
GM yeast for commercial production, or merely for research purposes? If
the yeast
is being used in producing commercial wines, and these wines are being
exported
to countries in which it has not yet been approved for use, what can or
should the
wine industry do about it?"
Presently there are no well established methods to detect GM wine made
using GM yeast ML01
