The company complained that its products had been made subject to a movement control notice by the respondent. The product was derived from grapes, but had been subjected to a non-recognised process to reduce the alcohol content.
Held: Despite the non-approval of the process, it was still correct to test it according the standards. It did not meet the specifications for wine, and the notice was correct.
