5. Wine grape industry analysis<br />
5.1 Change in wine grape varieties 1997 to 2014<br />
5.1.1 Bearing <strong>and</strong> non-bearing plantings<br />
Wine grape plantings increased by 5,020 hectares between 1997 <strong>and</strong> 2014, largely due to the<br />
planting of red wine grape varieties between 1997 <strong>and</strong> 2003.<br />
The area of wine grape plantings peaked around 2006.<br />
In 1997, 34% of wine grape plantings were non-bearing (i.e. new plantings less than 3 years old)<br />
but by 2014, non-bearing plantings reduced to only 3%.<br />
