Question 1 An Italian producer of wine concluded a contract with an English buyer for a supply of red wine. According to the contract, the seller was obliged to provide the buyer with a sample of the finished product for final approval prior shipment. The buyer was provided with analysis report of the wine, which indicated that the quality of the product was as expected.
