SYDNEY: Uncontrolled fires that ripped through Australia’s southern state this week have engulfed some of the region’s vineyards, forcing winemakers to take to social media to plead for donations.
“The worst day in our history. I am completely broken,” Bowley, who owns Vinteloper wines, wrote on Instagram as he shared photos of his burnt property. “We have nothing left, except a few cases of museum stock at our home and literally 48 bottles of current vintage wine,” Tilbrook wrote on his Facebook page.
Vinteloper’s Bowley estimates his financial loss at A$1 million although he is still assessing damage, as is Tilbrook.
