A grapevine virus has been detected in Australia for the first time -- but industry experts say it's too soon to tell what sort of affect it will have on our local production. 

Grapevine Berry Inner Necrosis Virus, also known as GIN-V, has been detected in table grapes in Victoria, Queensland and South Australia. 

The disease has the potential to spread to wine grapes, rootstocks and dried fruit varieties, and can cause restricted growth, delayed budburst, changing leaf colours or patterns and reduce grape quality. 

Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Australian Table Grape Association Chief Executive Jeff Scott about the situation, and what the industry's next steps are.
