(MediaClubSouthAfrica) - Traditional stereotypes about wine in South Africa are fading as a new generation of black wine connoisseurs and producers enter the wine scene. South Africa's wine industry is viewed as one of the most progressive and successful of many wine-producing countries. The industry's transformation efforts have been successful and new wine consumption trends point to a new group of emerging wine consumers.
