I don't drink Cask wine or cheap and nasty bottles, but if they're taxed to increase the price then the $10-$20 bottles (which can be quite good quality) will go up accordingly.
For that reason I'm heavily against it. There are massive taxes on this product already and as the OP says, its really punishing the rest of us who enjoy a few glasses of red at a restaurant/winery just because kids/bogans write themselves off drinking 4L casks.
We make some very good wine in this country we should not be hurting the winemakers by making products less affordable. Wine is NOT fun to get drunk off like beer is and the majority drink it in moderation and enjoy it
