AUS: Wine industry unfazed by smoke threat
Jan 31, 2012 6
(ABC) - The Western Australian wine industry says it is not too concerned about smoke taint from fires over recent days in the south-west.
Some grape crops are nearing the harvesting stage slightly earlier than usual because of warm weather accelerating the ripening process.
It is a high risk time for smoke taint of grapes.
Wine Industry Association of Western Australia general manager Aymee Mastaglia says windy weather would have been a saving grace for grape crops.
