Wine grape growers up against the wall

Fosters, Constellation and Orlando Wines released drastically reduced grape prices this week, which they have blamed on oversupply.

Fosters grape grower Colin Free from Swan Hill says there is a feeling amongst growers that the large wineries are trying to push them out of business to reduce the surplus.

"Prices that have been offered are giving growers no choice other than them to not stay in the industry," he says.

"That's what companies are more or less doing to try and get more growers to just get out of the industry."
