“Recently the world’s media reported the alarming news that demand for wine has outstripped supply. Latest figures indicated a shortfall of 300 million cases in 2012, it was claimed… the world was facing the serious prospect of a wine shortage. Scary graphs were published showing production dropping while consumption increased. But is it true?

This made Reuters finance blogger, Felix Salmon, suspicious – especially when he realised the report was promoting an Australian wine company as a top stock pick to buy.”
