The South Australian government has allocated $109 million to assist the state’s beleaguered wine industry, which has been hit hard by export bans and reduced global consumption since the pandemic began. Premier Peter Malinauskas announced today that $100 million of this package will be available as loans for grape growers looking to switch to alternative crops, with no principal or interest repayments due for two years. The remaining funds are aimed at extending a global wine growth program and managing excess inventory in the industry.

Story summary
South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas announced a $109 million support package for the state's struggling wine industry on an unspecified date. The initiative aims to assist grape growers who have faced difficulties since the pandemic began, particularly due to a ban on exports of Australian wines to China and a decline in global wine consumption. South Australia, home to major wine regions like the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale, will receive $100 million dedicated to loans enabling eligible growers to switch to other crops, with no principal or interest repayments for two years. The package also includes a two-year extension of the Global Wine Growth Program to boost international demand and address surplus inventories.
