Riverland Wine respond to “wine bailout” headline

RIVERLAND WINE: The dramatic headline on Thursday’s Advertiser, Wine Bailout was very misleading. The truth of it, is that the entire industry is being challenged and to imply it’s a Riverland issue is far from the reality. Riverland Wine has a long and a successful record of working with Senator Nick Xenophon to bring about major reforms that have improved conditions for winegrowers over many years. Xenophon lobbied hard on the behalf of Riverland Wine and provided excellent access to some of his Federal parliamentary colleagues to bring about the Exit Packages.
