Wine makers suffer from rip-offs in China(2)

Despite the cost, Mr MacPhail said small winemakers also needed to police the market and spend resources tracking the culprits down as soon as they became aware of the existence of fakes.

The Finlaysons Wine Roadshow was established in 1992 as a forum for mostly smaller wineries covering information on key macro- economic and regulatory issues affecting the industry.

Finlaysons, which counts WA producers Stella Bella, Howard Park and Ferngrove among its clients along with Foster's Group and the Australian Wine & Brandy Corporation (AWBC), added Margaret River to its national tour in 1994. This year's roadshow is focused on how to do business with China.
