The Wine Industry Council says government funded vine pulls are not the answer to the wine grape oversupply crisis.

A draft report on cool climate grape growers was tabled at the council’s meeting yesterday.

Di Davidson, from the council, says it recommends several ways forward, but removing vines is only needed in some cases.

“There have been many examples of the wrong variety being planted in the wrong location or in the wrong region, so in some situations the best outcome would be to remove a vineyard, not even to replant it but it is very site specific and very situation specific,” she said.

The report will be released to the public in four to five weeks.
