Danske supermarkeders uigennemsigtige kontrol med arbejdsforhold

I Global Aktion brugte vi over sommeren 2020 en del tid på at undersøge udbuddet af sydafrikansk vin i de danske supermarkeder. Det var ikke svært at opdrive. Der findes et stort udvalg af vin fra forskellige leverandører i Sydafrika på tværs af de danske supermarkedskæder. Det stemmer overens med statistik udarbejdet af landets vinindustri, der viser at Danmark i 2019 lå i top ti over verdens største importører af sydafrikansk vin (både målt i værdi og i antal liter).
