Finns love Pearly Bay Cape White
Alko, Finland's monopoly alcohol retailer has announced that Pearly Bay Cape White, one of the KWV's best-selling wines, has moved from fourth to third ranking in international wine sales, outselling the popular Gato Negro Sauvignon Blanc from Chile in 2011.

Considering all wines, red and white, the brand is ranked fifth by the retailer and, when measured against beer, wine and spirits, it is ranked at number 16.
