I have been doing some research into how we might fix the current wine crisis in Australia, to do that I have looked backwards into to history to see what I could learn and to the French wine industry under German and Vichy Administration. The answers are all there and history has proven that this works as the French wine industry survived the ravagers of war and occupation implementing many of these ideas: We establish a complex array of administrative Departments to see over see all aspects of wine something like the Office of International de la Vigne et du Vin, Commission de Contrôle des Vins, National Committee for the Appellations d'Origin and Group Viticols- this would make the average public servant drool in excitement . We appoint Defenders of Wine or Wine Deputies for each wine region. Wine is formally recognised & endorsed for its therapeutic and health values recognising that wine is both an excellent means of moral & nervous relaxation. That a minumum daily per capita consumption be initiated with a minimum of 1 Litre of wine per person being required. Wine be reclassified into the following categories: 24 hour wine - has been consumed within this time frame Overnight wines- only to be consumed at night Household wines Ordinary wines - general consumption only Appellation Controllé wines Fine wines These could all be taxed at differing marginal rates, a boon for the governments coffers, the higher the quality the higher the tax much in same way a luxury tax works Price Charter is introduced where the exact price and quantities for each wine category is set. Greater emphasis on formal skills development in the wine industry The answer is if we create greater scarcity within the industry and for consumers consumption will push up. Just food for thought, a fire lighter, a thought bubble you may well laugh but history proves that these measures did actually save the French wine industry Santé

Embracing New Zealand’s Wine Export Success The New Zealand wine industry has been navigating significant challenges yet continues to achieve remarkable success, particularly in the export market. Recent data indicates that New Zealand’s wine exports have surged by a record 23%, reaching NZ$2.4 billion in value as of June 2023. This impressive growth underscores the global demand for the country’s distinctive wine styles, especially Sauvignon Blanc . Notably, about 90% of New Zealand’s wine production is exported, with key markets including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The United States remains the largest market, with sales increasing by 25% to NZ$870 million in the past year. This trend is further bolstered by strategic trade agreements, such as the free trade agreement with the UK, which eliminates tariffs on over 97% of New Zealand’s exports to this region . Despite these achievements, the industry faces ongoing challenges. The impact of Cyclone Gabrielle in early 2023 resulted in significant vineyard damage and a 6% decrease in the 2023 grape harvest. Nonetheless, the quality of the grapes harvested remains high, ensuring that New Zealand wines continue to meet premium market standards . As we look to the future, the resilience and adaptability of New Zealand’s wine industry stand as a testament to its enduring spirit and commitment to excellence. #NewZealandWine #WineIndustry #WineExports #SauvignonBlanc #WineTrends #GlobalMarkets

🍇 Australia's Wine Industry Leads in Sustainability The 2023 Impact Report from Sustainable Winegrowing Australia showcases notable advancements in sustainable practices within the Australian wine sector. A significant 41% of this year's total wine tonnage was certified sustainable, covering 32% of total vineyard area. The report highlights an exponential increase in certifications compared to 2020, with over ten times more wineries and over eight times more vineyards achieving sustainability certification. 🌱 Certification and Consumer Trust Enhancing Market Presence Mardi Longbottom of the Australian Wine Research Institute emphasized the growing trend of sustainability in the wine industry, driven by consumer demand and ethical commitments. The Sustainable Winegrowing Australia Trust Mark, now featured on an equivalent of 96.1 million bottles of wine, authenticates sustainability claims, which is crucial as 53% of global wine consumers trust only officially certified sustainability claims, according to the IWSR SOLA Report. 🌍 Commitment to Long-Term Environmental Goals The industry is not only expanding its sustainable practices but also pioneering in innovations like alternative varieties and eco-friendly packaging, such as the 'bagnum' format by Duxton Vineyards’ Rewild. Sustainable Winegrowing Australia’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 aligns with its 42% emissions reduction target by 2030, reflecting a substantial commitment to environmental stewardship across nearly 85% of Australia’s wine regions. #SustainableWine #EcoFriendly #WineIndustry #AustraliaWine #SustainabilityGoals
