The Australian ‘Black Summer’ of 2019/20, which saw bushfires destroy swathes of vineyard land across the country was a dramatic reminder of the growing challenges facing winemakers around the world. We spoke to leading Australian winemakers and lab technicians to find out how agile decision-making is helping to deal with the consequences of global warming. Offering alarming proof of the escalating effects of climate change, in November 2019 bushfires blazed through New South Wales, scorching more than five million hectares of land following Australia’s hottest and driest year on record. In December 2019, the fires swept through the Adelaide Hills, destroying 650 ha of vines in the region, and wiping out entire vineyards. Making matters worse, the smoke from the fires was far-reaching, rendering vineyard plots from Canberra to the Hunter Valley useless.

FAS Visits FLX This week we were pleased to welcome some 25 representatives of USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service to Fox Run Vineyards in New York’s Finger Lakes Region—the FAS in FLX! Led by Trade Policy Expert Ben Henderson, the group included Agricultural Policy and Marketing Specialists from many countries in Asia (China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam), Europe (Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden), the Middle East and South Asia (Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates), and several others. They work at embassies responsible for promoting U.S. agricultural products, and spent this week visiting various agricultural producers in the Northeast, as well as Cornell University. Fox Run, a leading New York winery, was the first stop, and a logical one, given that it has long been part of the FAS-funded Market Access program (MAP) that promotes U.S. exports. In addition, co-owner Scott Osborn is the current Vice Chair of WineAmerica, which i
