Why Australia Wants Less Wine | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Australia's wine industry is facing a severe crisis. Millions of vines are being uprooted to address rampant overproduction - which has led to a rapid fall in grape prices. The crisis may compound in the coming days - with the global market for wine witnessing a decline in consumption. Palki Sharma tells you how the current situation may impact the livelihoods for Australia's wine makers.

The reason China banned Wine exports and other exports from Australia, was because our Government during Covid, wanted to have a full investigation on how or why Covid happened, especially if it was a deliberate or accidental leak from the Wuhan Coronavirus Lab. China obviously were not happy with that, but who cares as we should not be submissive to China aggression. China also upset at Australia supporting Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam regarding China's claims to the whole China sea. Now that the government has changed, this new government will suck up to China, which is very worrying. If China doesn't want our food or wine due to having a sissy fit over Covid investigation, then they can get food and wine from somewhere else, and we should look at other markets, like Europe, India, SE Asia, Japan, Korea, and other markets.

Renowned Australian win writer, Jeremy Oliver, has recently written some articles on LinkedIn about this situation.

The sensible thing to do it to rip the vines out and focus on quality over quantity.

Australia is part of the Commonwealth Realms which means UK still has an influence over certain things but on a not so open basis just like New Zealand, Jamaica, Papua New Guinea, among others. Hence when the cousin US is in trouble, its only right in their eyes to side with their 'cousin'.
