“Capetown cables over to say that the wine harvest for last season was a record —forty million gallons of it. three times as much as we produced in 1928. Experts are saying that our sherries and table wines have reached an exceptionally high quality, and can now match up to some of the best vintages from Europe. The South African wine industry now employes more than 60,000 people, one of the biggest organisations of its kind in the world. Very extensive new vineyards have been planted in the last few years, and it looks as if wine is going to be one of our busiest industries after the war.”—Cyril Watling in the 8.8.C.'s “News from South Africa.”
