It could be even worse this year depending on how the wild fires in Aus have hit the commercial vineyards.

According to the BBC (HERE), the world production of wine is falling while consumption is rising. With an inevitable increase in price. I wonder how much impact this will have on the production of kits and grape juice?

I saw this and thought the same - glad I've started homebrew again!

Ahh, I'll be fine, I brew plenty of wine.

It's the brandy I'm worried about!
