Stamp of approval for Aussie wine

Australia's postal service has released a set of stamps celebrating wine production in the country. Wine has been Australia's fastest-growing export over the past ten years.

The five stamps from Australia Post illustrate the various stages of wine production, while maintaining a necessarily romantic view of life in the vineyard and winery. The stamps show images of vines, ripe grape bunches, grape picking, wine maturing in barrels, and finally two full glasses: one of red, the other of white.
