Wine export growth tipped under TTP deal

The Winemakers’ Federation of Australia (WFA) has welcomed the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) as an opportunity to grow wine exports and attract future investment. Tony D’Aloisio, WFA president, said the TPP promised to level the playing field for those entering the 12 signatory countries which last year accounted for 45 per cent of Australia’s wine exports – or $837 million out of the total $1.9 billion in total wine exported in 2014.
