Riverland grapegrowers have startled industry with their responses in a recent survey of South Australian growers, revealing that more than half of them are considering 'packing up shop'.

The Wine Grape Council of SA study put eight of the state's grapegrowing regions under the spotlight.

The October edition of GrapeGrowers & Vignerons takes an in-depth look at how SA growers feel toward their industry.

It also looks at why a New South Wales grower body is reimbursing its growers, what is drawing Aussie exporters to China, and where 1800 wine industry exhibitors headed to recently.
