Stormhoek whether
It's not entirely clear to me what's going on at Stormhoek, though I think the general direction of matters is clear enough: the brand is marching on under new ownership.
The purchase of Stormhoek by Origin Wine seems to me to have created, perhaps unsurprisingly, both confusion and acrimony, though I find it difficult to read between the lines when speaking to the South Africans. My diplomatic radar gets a bit fuzzy. I'll refer you to the Stormhoek.com blog, and to the South African version.
You can see a video clip with Graham Knox, whose task of finding a way forward I don't envy him, talking about Stormhoek here.
UPDATE
This is getting very much over my head. Here's some more analysis:http://listics.com/200803103984
