At the same time, Australia imported more wine than ever: 67m litres worth AU$470.7m, an increase of 4.2% in volume and 2.6% in value compared with the year before.
Exports last year fell: 746.6m litres were exported worth AU$1.9bn, Australian Bureau of Statistics figures released yesterday show.

by Jim Budd – Veteran Loire winemaker Noel Pinguet’s sudden resignation from Domaine Huet was over differences with the owning family, Decanter.com has learned.
Sarah Hwang, daughter of Anthony Hwang who bought the estate from the Huet family in 2003, has been appointed president with her brother Stefan as managing director.
Anthony Hwang is a Chinese American businessman who also owns the Tokaji estate Királyudvar. The legendary Gaston Huet, who had established the domaine’s reputation, died in 2002.

by Rebecca Gibb – New Zealand expects a small 2012 vintage, which is likely to put the 
brakes on its decade-long growth spurt.
A lighter crop could lead to a grape shortage, which marks a massive turnaround for an industry that has been burdened by oversupply since 2008.
Stuart Smith, chair of industry body, New Zealand Winegrowers, told decanter.com: ‘I expect that the vintage will be around 300,000 tonnes. However, even if we had a 328,000 tonne harvest like last year, we would still be short by about 10%. We now have very low stocks on hand and export sales are growing at a good rate.’
