Rupert Murdoch’s Wine Is Going to Be All Right

Dec 9, 2017

(Bloomberg) - Rupert Murdoch’s vineyard in the ritzy Bel-Air neighborhood of Los Angeles suffered minor damages to its vines after a fire erupted nearby.

Murdoch, the billionaire who controls 21st Century Fox Inc., also lost some wine. No one was hurt.

“We are beyond grateful for the efforts of all the firefighters who saved lives and property,” Scott Rich, the winemaker at Murdoch’s Moraga Estate, said in a statementposted on Twitter. “In my experience vineyards can act as a firebreak so that may have helped us. 

Since the harvest was completed two months ago and the vines are dormant, future production shouldn’t be affected by smoke from the fire, Rich said.
