    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to oppose the amendment proposed by Mr. Oparanya. I would like to explain to the House so that we do not end up voting in confusion. The tariff code 2204.21.00 is an international code that refers to wine made from grapes. It is very important that we understand this. The wine that is made from a mix of fruit wine, other than grapes, is covered under tariff code 2206. Tariff code 2204 is wine made from grapes. That is an international description. The issue here is not about a local industry or a multinational but about what code we are talking about. We took the view that the fortified wine that the hon. Members are talking about which is made by Keroche Industries is made from a mix of pineapple juice and alcohol. It becomes fortified wine categorised under international code 2206. We took that view and we have not raised the Duty on that code. But the code that we are talking about here, code 2204, refers to wine made from grapes and grape mast. That is what we need to be careful about. So, by trying to help the industry you are thinking of, you will actually be helping all the wine and champagne manufacturers out there who are covered by this code. It is very important that by the time this House makes a decision, we do not do it out of confusion, because that is exactly the confusion that we got in the last Clause."
