I think that 900 mill is actually just from the distribution, but it is over 2 years and includes the whole distribution (the 2 warehouses only account for about 55% of the distribution). Still, that's currently an annual amount of $247.5 million, which would be incredible for a $700 mill investment.

The additional info on the lobbyist is interesting as well. It's not just the macro's that want a piece of the action. And if the provincial barriers ever come down, distributing Okanagan wine across the country could be VERY profitable.

This would be a VERY stupid sale... it only helps to balance the books before the next election.
