Political leaders from around the world have rallied behind Australia in the wake of China's newly imposed 200 per cent tariffs on wine which could cripple the $6billion industry.
The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China - made up of more than 200 MPs from 19 countries - has urged millions of citizens to buy a 'bottle or two' of Australian wine before Christmas as a show of support.
Australia's wine industry exports 39 percent of all its total product to China.
The introduction of huge tariffs last week, brought in as apparent payback after Scott Morrison called for an inquiry into the origin of the coronavirus, is likely to see the industry decimated - having already been badly hit by bushfires and drought.
That's why lawmakers from across the globe are calling on their citizens to pitch in and purchase some bottles of Australian wine.
.....
It follows a US National Security Council Tweet in recent days declaring that Australian wine will be featured at a White House holiday reception this week.
'Pity vino lovers in China who, due to Beijing's coercive tariffs on Aussie vintners, will miss out. #AussieAussieAussieOiOiOi!' the official Twitter message states.

That’s what happens when you deal with communist scum; they eventually revert true to form and act like communist scum.
Aussies are good folks. Stand tall, mates.
Shiraz is quite good. Chinese wine tastes like reptile urine.
I’ll be there for you guys. A case or two of wine it is.
With notes of bat blood and chemical smog. :)
Their beer is not bad, though.
Or Tiger penis...
Or whale semen
IF the Free World got together we could put China out of business.
Lindman’s is an most excellent inexpensive Australian wine.
I’ve found all their varieties very drinkable and love the Shiraz!
Did my part today. Two bottles
Instead of buying a bottle of wine, why don’t their allies put a 200% tariff on everything from China?
Jacob’s Creek is good as well. I like the Pinot Grigio.
THAT is the way to fight back.
Every communist government has to parasite off of the capitalist societies they seek to destroy, so just turn it back on them.
We don’t need them - they need us.
Trump understands that. He’s the only one who stood up to them.
they’d back down in 48 hours if half a dozen countries did that.
Thanks for the heads up - just ordered several bottles.
True that.
Stop buying their crappy sh*t and they;ll crumble.
Chicoms are in an undeclared war with us Aussies. We have always been in the trenches with Uncle Sam. Help us out by purchasing a bottle or two of our great Aussie wines. Friends in war and peace.
F8ck China, I’ll buy Australian wine.
