The opportunity to sell grapes on-line through this site has been applauded by Peter Scudamore-Smith, Master of Wine: "This is a good innovation because there is little grape trade outside this State, hence it fosters intra-state sales. There is no point there being a second web point to trade grapes from other Queensland areas - and a lot of Granite Belt grapes are sent outside your region to support its growth anyway."
