In this edition of the Business Day Spotlight, we’re taking a closer look at the economic impact of the national lockdown and Covid-19 on the local wine industry.
Our host Mudiwa Gavaza is joined by Francois Bezuidenhout, a longstanding Cape Wine Master, winemaker; and spirits and wine marketing analyst to discuss the issues.
As part of the national lockdown, government has taken a strong stance against the sale of alcohol in SA during this time.
The discussions also takes time to explore the possible impacts of Covid-19 on the whole wine value chain, how wine makers have adapted their businesses to aid in the production of sanitising products, opportunities in international markets, and the possible recovery that may come when consumers are allowed to make purchases freely again.
