It's fallen the last couple of years.

We're just seeing a bit of a shift at the moment that people are maybe changing what they drink.

There's a little bit more, maybe less consumption in some countries.

It sort of has its ups and downs.

If you look at the last 30 or 40 years, it's generally had some ups and downs, but there's no doubt at the moment that

that consumption is challenged in some countries, but also production probably got inflated in some of the other countries and that's resulted in an oversupply in many countries around the world.

But here in Australia, it's actually, it's not as bad as what people think.

You know, people are still drinking wine, of course, but maybe they're not doing it as often.

Yeah, it would be okay.

That wine, when it was released, was sensational.

So Lake Discouraged means that the bottle top that the wine is stored in originally, the same sort of top that a beer bottle would have, is taken out, the wine is liquefied up a bit and the cork's put in.

Lake Discouraged means it's done very recently to when it's been released.

Now, the challenge with sparkling wine or champagne is...

If you do keep it for a long time, there is a fair chance it's going to have lost some, if not all, of its bubble pressure.

So we're not a massive fan of putting champagne or sparkling in the cellar.

You should probably drink that reasonably quickly because it does lose its bubble pressure.

I'd be drinking that one pretty soon.

Coravin is a groundbreaking device designed to basically go through the cork or the screw cap and the ability is to pull one glass of wine out of it at the time and it automatically reseals.

over the hole it's put in.

And so it means you can have a really decent bottle of wine open for two or three weeks.
