JAMEK, the company owner said was in business to serve Nigerians quality drinks.
He was quoted by the paper as saying: “Our wines are produced to suit our weather because we make it in compliance with best recommendations. There are so many wines in Nigeria today that are too harsh because of the hot weather but if you drink JAMEK wine, you will see how smooth it is because it won’t gives you headache or heartburn.
“Germany where we produce our wine is known for not compromising when it comes to quality. Our wines may not be the same price with other wines in the market but we are after the quality of the product and not the quantity.
“Again whenever I want to produce any wine, I get sample of different wines and take it to Germany and we analyze it, I can tell you today that there are some spirits that people drink in Nigeria that are made for countries whose whether are cold. If I want to produce any spirit, I will make sure it won’t harm your health by giving you heartburn or work against your kidney.”
