South African Wines

[Scoop]

Speaking of politics, there's of course the huge UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Earth Summit II) going on right now in Johannesburg, SA, and you can bet your bottom rand that the SA wine industry will be all over the thousands of bureaucrats, politicians, environmentalists, media and NGOs gathered at the various receptions, etc. over the next week or so. Irrespective of political orientation, this certainly presents a great international marketing opportunity for SA wines right in their own back yard.

Perhaps Colin Powell will bring back a mixed case for the otherwise occupied W. Administration.

Cheers,
