Wine shows make 'boring' wines

摘要

THE LEAD STORY on the Decanter magazine website for 7 October was a real attention grabber: "Australian shows make 'boring' wine: Kinzbrunner." The story related to an interview with Rick Kinzbrunner, the man behind Giaconda, who claimed Australian wine shows had become moribund. The story went on to explain his reasoning. He considered that in the early years the system helped "drag the bottom end up" but, lately, he said it was doing the opposite. The problem, he said, was one of winemakers' egos.
