Wine industry forecasts growth in plantings

Gregan said the forecasts in the just released Vineyard Register Report 2015-18 were a minimum, and he expected the actual plantings to be above predictions. “We know there have been some land pur-chases [for vineyards] that are not included in this data, so the numbers will lift further,” Gregan said. “The industry is expanding, reflecting the demand for our products in international markets.”
