China launches second probe into Australian wine, claiming government subsidies could infringe trade rules
In another blow to Australia's wine export sector, China has confirmed it is launching an investigation into alleged subsidies.
Key points:
The announcement comes after China launched a separate probe into dumping allegations
Trade Minister Simon Birmingham says Australia refutes China's allegations
China is Australia's most valuable export market for wine
China's Commerce Ministry says Australian bottled wine in containers of 2 litres or less will face a one-year countervailing-duties investigation.
It comes a fortnight after China's Government launched a separate anti-dumping investigation that caused the share price of Australia's largest wine exporter, Treasury Wine Estates, to plunge.
