SYDNEY, Nov 27 — Australia will move to protect its multi-billion-dollar wine industry from punitive new Chinese tariffs, its agriculture minister said today, raising the threat of World Trade Organisation counter-measures.

“We’re deeply concerned by this,” he added. “In light of the recent comments by China, it gives the perception this decision is predicated on something other than any wrongdoing by the wine industry.”
