Article 2. Exceptions of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 16. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 2.

This chapter does not apply to grapes which are marketed by or through a nonprofit cooperative marketing association unless the board of directors of the association elects to have the soluble solid determination of the grapes of its members determined as provided in this chapter and notifies the agricultural commissioner of each county in which the association operates any winery of such election.

This chapter does not affect the right of a purchaser of grapes for wine and byproducts purposes to specify a minimum percentage of soluble solids as a definition of maturity of the grapes if the price which is to be paid is to be determined other than on the basis of the soluble solid contents of the grapes.
