A wine grower says more seasonal workers shows the Government is listening to the industry's concerns.
It's increased the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme by 3,000 more workers this year - the biggest increase in a decade.
The Government's also requiring employers provide the workers sick leave.
Wine Growers Chief Executive Philip Gregan told Kate Hawkesby it won't solve labour issues, but will make a big difference.
He says they're trying to balance RSE and Working Holidaymaker numbers - but don't know how many people on a working holiday will arrive.
