Covid-19 has bought the world to a bit of a standstill, but countries across the globe are reacting in different fashions. The South African government, for example, has decided to ban the sale of alcohol in an attempt to stop social drinking and reduce alcohol-related hospital admissions.
It’s unclear whether this has worked, but it’s had a devastating effect on the South African wine industry. Not only have domestic sales severely reduced but the government has also banned the export of wine.
