China tiesRetail

--FILE--Chinese customers shop for wine imported from Australia, the United States or France at a supermarket in Xuchang city, central China's Henan province, 17 October 2013. Chinese buyers have developed a taste for more than just Australian stock of residential property and farmland, there's a renewed thirst for Australian wine in Asia, helping to drive the first annual increase in the value of exports in eight years. After years of suffering through a sustained austerity campaign from central government officials in Beijing, which put a dampener on banqueting and sapped demand for anything tinged with luxury, including wine, spirits and expensive watches, the middle class and richer Chinese are once again in the mood to buy. And increasingly they are reaching for a bottle of premium Australian wine. The weaker Australian dollar is also playing its part, while free-trade agreements in Asia are delivering immediate sales to Australian winemakers. According to Wine Australia, the value of Australian wine exports in the 12 months to June 30 rose 5 per cent to $1.89 billion, the first time the value of exports has increased on a financial year basis since 2006-07.

Nation’s $45.5bn wine industry hopeful of end to China tariffs

The tariffs placed by an angry Beijing on Australian wine in 2020 snuffed out a $1.3bn export market, but there are now new hopes of a resolution that could open China again to winemakers.
