How the bushfires have impacted Australian wine

As homeowners and businesses count the cost of the devastation that bushfires caused across Australia, the country's renowned wine industry is looking at the damage. In some areas, the entire 2020 grape crop is burnt. And even where the grapes were kept from the flames, any wine made with them can be affected by smoke taint. We talk about the future with winemakers from the Adelaide Hills - home to some of the more fashionable cooler climate wines of Australia - and ask how this will affect Australian wine in the coming years. Winifred Robinson presents.
