How China is devastating Australia's billion dollar wine industry
CNN
South Australian winemaker Jarrad White spent almost a decade building his business in China. Then, in a matter of months, it all fell apart.
It had nothing to do with the quality of White's wines at his vineyard in McLaren Vale, one of South Australia's premier winegrowing regions.
