Winemakers in Australia are scrambling to source a crucial component for the fermentation process as Chinese export restrictions continue to cause global shortages.
Australia's wine industry is worried about shortages of a key ingredient in the fermentation process, as Chinese export restrictions continue to disrupt global supply.
Wineries across Australia will need the nitrogen source when they start harvesting the next vintage in early 2022.DAP is also used as a fertiliser and in food manufacturing so wine makers may be forced to compete with other industries for a limited supply. The Wine Industry Suppliers Association says winemakers need to order early so the industry can gauge demand for DAP this vintage."If you haven't got your orders in for it [DAP] now ... it's going to be almost impossible to get."
Tony Battaglene is concerned smaller wineries will struggle to get supplies of DAP if they don't order early.The chair of the Wine Industry Suppliers Association, Jason Amos, said the shortage could impact the taste and quality of wine.
