Grape growers squeezed

Winegrape growers should not expect higher prices. This is despite a report that suggests wine exporters are raising the sale price of their wine. According to the quarterly Rabobank wine report, bottled wine export prices rose 4.8 per cent to $4.30 a litre and bulk wine prices were up 6.3 per cent to $1.01 per litre. But Wine Grape Growers Australia executive director Lawrie Stanford said growers were yet to see the benefit of higher prices, reports Weekly Times Now.
