In this week's Studio Canberra Podcast, Tony & Lee discuss two significant issues grape and wine businesses are facing.
Shipping issues are causing significant disruptions to the sector, including the increasing costs to ship and the difficulty many businesses are having in booking a spot for their wines on ships leaving Australia.
We also discuss the availability of labour leading into the 2022 vintage in terms of finding workers in the vineyard, the winery and even on-farm expertise for technical equipment. We know it was an issue last year – and there is an argument that we got lucky with a long and even vintage and no compression. Given it is unlikely that Australia’s borders will re-open for travel ahead of the 2022 vintage, what should ag-businesses be thinking about?
