ASIA offers Western Australian winemakers a market ripe with potential, particularly for top-end produce, according to renowned wine critic James Halliday.
Mr Halliday recently returned from an Austrade-sponsored visit to the region, during which WA's top drops were spruiked to potential distributors and wine writers from Taiwan and neighbouring China.
"Clearly there are real opportunities even in the fairly gloomy, and exceedingly gloomy, times we're in for the niche marketing of top end wines across the whole jurisdiction of the whole of Asia," Mr Halliday told WA Business News.
