* Chinese authorities say Australia is unfairly dumping wine into the market
* Temporary tariffs have been imposed, ranging from 107 to 212 per cent
* Australia now has 10 days to appeal the decision
* Wine is a $2.9 billion industry for Australia and China accounts for 37 per cent of total wine exports, by far the biggest market for Australia
