Australian wine gains in popularity

Australian wines are becoming increasingly popular overseas, with the Chinese market growing considerably in recent years.

Statistics from Wine Australia show exports to China increased by 66 percent in 2015, to 370 million Australian dollars ($281 million), with red wine by far the drink of choice.

Mitchell Taylor, managing director and third-generation winemaker from Taylors Wines, said his company had been exporting its wines to China for more than 30 years.
