But an eleventh hour trade deal with China signed just over a week ago may yet prove a saviour for many in the industry.
- Few other industries have grown at such a speed as the Australian Wine Industry. The eighties and nineties were periods of extraordinary domestic and export growth.

Let's take a quick look at the industry's extraordinary growth and its current status.
