    Wine news: who won the world wine awards, disease resistant vines, mental health in wine, bulk wines update, and is there a silver lining in all this?

    Send us Fan Mail We stack up the week’s wine news with a mix of hard numbers and genuine bright spots, from rock-bottom bulk prices to a more diverse global awards landscape. We also get real about mental health in the Australian wine industry and why connection, provenance and ethics still matter when times are tough.  • Australian bulk Shiraz and Cabernet sitting at extreme low values  • what bulk wine is for and why shipping in bulk can be cheaper and more sustainable  • how oversupply and the post-China hangover keep pressure on growers  • Decanter World Wine Awards results as a snapshot of quality and global change  • emerging regions gaining recognition including England, China, Serbia and Uruguay  • a Sydney high school site hosting CSIRO disease-resistant grapevine trials  • powdery mildew and downy mildew pressure in warm, wet climates  • crossbreeding versus GMO and how the wine industry thinks about it  • mental health pressures from isolation, long hours, uncertainty and access to alcohol  • practical support ideas like community breakfasts, viticulture groups and Rootlings  • a Halliday column on provenance, ethics and finding hope in wine  Yeah, go read it. It’s called It Might Take A Graveyard to Show It, but there’s Life in Wine Yet.  Follow us on instagram @winewithmegandmel and TikTok! @winewithmegmel
