NSW wine industry gets $2.6m recovery package as global oversupply bites
NSW wine producers can get up to $250,000 each. A new $2.6 million recovery package helps them deal with global oversupply.
NSW wine producers face global oversupply and falling wine consumption. NSW wine producers will access a new $2.6 million recovery package announced October 30.
Producers can apply for grants up to $250,000 to support mental health, leadership programs, and marketing campaigns. Marketing campaigns promote NSW wine.
Industry leaders welcomed the support but flagged a tight November 27 deadline for applications. Hunter Valley winemaker Andrew Margan said the industry is scrambling to respond.
The plan is to spend the money strategically across regions. This works better than spreading it thin.
NSW wine currently has about 12 per cent of the domestic market.
