There was a brief news story here with some footage of the bust in Sydney. I didn't recognise most of the labels/boxes that flashed by in the vision, but I did see Drayton's a few times. They mentioned that local (SA) winery Glen Eldon Wines was one of the ones involved, and showed some vision of boxes of theirs too.

Cheers,
Ian

The second thing I wonder is that how the hack these companies get sucked into these kind of scams !
How do they send so much wine without any payment or some monetary guarantee ?
