Inland wine grape growers seek government support to exit industry 'with dignity' amid wine glut

The federal government is providing $3.5 million to help the wine industry address the wine and grape oversupply.Agriculture Minister Murray Watt says the Australian government is "not in the habit" of funding growers to exit an industry.

Now, as a three-year contract comes to an end, he's facing the prospect of leaving his grapes to rot on the ground and the "heartbreaking" decision of pulling out his vines. But Agriculture Minister Murray Watt on Wednesday said funding for growers to exit the industry was unlikely."We're not in the habit of providing tens of millions of dollars to pay people to exit an industry," Mr Watt said.

"Removing barriers to exit like the cost of removing vineyards and posts in a safe and sustainable way might help to exit with dignity."
