Sweden-based group Vin and Spirit (V&S) has lost a legal bid in the country’s appeal court to continue using a former partner’s trademark on its wine labels, after the company alleged it had supplied counterfeit products.
Such a decision, handed down on 26 September, means V&S can no longer use the Golden Gate mark on its wine. The company faces recalling all the brands from shelves in Sweden, as well as paying unspecified financial damages to the Wine Group, which owns the brand name.
