Just finishing up recording a podcast on bdx in the Australian market when this news dropped…
China is reportedly suspending all imports from #Australia and New Zealand including dairy, beef, agricultural products and wines with immediate effect, a significant escalation of tensions between #China and its pacific neighbors. vino-joy.com/2022/08/15/brea…

A little Monday DYK: that Grenache Blanc vine you see sitting innocuously on our tasting patio is one of our mother vines, one of the six from which all our Grenache Blanc vines (and all the Grenache Blanc planted in America) is descended from. It turns 30 years old this year!⁠

🍷UK trade deal benefits wiped out by duty changes, Australian wine producers say. 😱80% of all still wine, 93% of Aussie wine, 95% of red wine and 100% fortified wine will go up in price if @hmtreasury proposals go ahead. #FairerDrinksTax #wine independent.co.uk/news/uk/bu…
