The reform of the European wine market that the European Union agreed on does not include the proposed ban on adding sugar to wine after criticism by many member states including the Czech Republic.
The Czech Republic will also receive higher subsidies for vineyard restructuring, namely € 3 million in 2009 instead of the initial plan of € 1.6 million; from 2015 the sum will rise from € 2.2 million to € 5.2 million.
