Wolfman- here is some bad news regarding the bushfires ths year!!!!

The grapes are now being harvested and many have a smoke-taint flavour so our wines this year will be greatly reduced in quality! Sad for those of us who like a glass of the really good stuff we produce. It's good enough for blending in some cases but some of the quality wines are badly affected. The odd thing is that some of the affected vineyards are a long way away from the fires, but where I live is 300 k away from the worst ones and we had smoke haze for days at a time here.

Maybe this particular shortage will shock the climate change sceptics into reality!
