Interestingly, the article mentions that the protection in Australia applies to wines but not Cheese

Can't imagine why Australian wine needs protection... Who would try to copy it?

Sorry, gonna go out on a limb and say you don’t try a lot of wines. Australia has some really great wines, both reds (Shiraz) and more recently whites (their Chardonnays are as good most of Napa’s). Their wine production is ~half of the USA, despite their much lower population and they export quite a lot of it (40 or 50%, I forget the exact number).

China just put 200% duties on any wine products from Australia so it might be a good time to import the excess.

Armagh Shiraz would like a word...
