The South African wine sector [has reportedly urged](https://urlsand.esvalabs.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fivs.org%3Fmailpoet_router%26endpoint%3Dtrack%26action%3Dclick%26data%3DWzExMiwiY2U5N2M4IiwiNjk3IiwiNmY5YTc0ZTc0MGUxIixmYWxzZV0&e=4cd65f2b&h=348f463f&f=n&p=y) South Africa’s finance minister to refrain from increasing excise taxes on wine, sparkling wine, and brandy more than the rate of inflation for 2023.

 A sector, which is recovering still from the pandemic, is dealing with supply disruptions and inflated input costs due to the war in Ukraine, and expects a smaller harvest due to weather conditions and power disruptions.
