In case you were wondering - the court case brought by the wine industry questioning the rationality of government decision-making will be going ahead.

“Enough is enough. If you think about it rationally, the ban doesn’t make sense anymore. The time has come to now save the livelihoods of the people who work in and depend on the South African wine industry,” says Vinpro MD @RicoBasson

Countless chefs, waiters, winery workers, hoteliers & tourism operators line the #Stellenbosch streets supporting #JobsSaveLives protesting irrational government laws banning the tourism and wine industry.
Are you listening @CyrilRamaphosa ??

[Vinpro @Vinpro_za]

The collapse of the #wine production sector, along with its key suppliers (glass & packaging) is a very real prospect following previous & current bans on international & local wine sales, writes @michaelfridjhon in @MeiningersWBI today. https://t.co/VmYCo1nAxP

[Vinpro @Vinpro_za]

Our thoughts are with our winery restaurants today who are taking one million seats on the streets in a peaceful protest to highlight that hospitality #jobssavelives

Devastatingly beautiful but definitely devastating. Grapevine leafroll disease, which causes yield losses and the uneven ripening of grapes, can be seen in the red and orange hues currently decking our vineyards. Good news though - it can be controlled👍 https://t.co/KkLGxXQXrd
