New Zealand is going through a rough patch, but Australia is too, and has been so for far longer.
Their overproduction problem has been a continuing one, and as mentioned on my Twitter account (@sabrosiavit -blatant plug! :-) there have been suggestions that tens of thousands of hectares of vines need to be ripped out to address the underlying issue - too many grapes in the ground!! A recent article says that some bulk grape growers are making just 27 cents on a bottle!!
But not only do they have the oversupply problem, they have issues with water supply, water salinity, and now, locusts??
Let's hope that the next step of the Plagues of Egypt doesn't take form for the wine industry there: Plague of Darkness!! :-)
