Back in the saddle again

A ways back, some of you might remember the little 'to do' down in South Africa at KWV. The long and short of it is that a couple of dudes starting monkeying around with the juice, adding a pich of this or a handful of that. I propesed that these two would never see the outside of a barrel again. Apparently not:

Fired wine makers flavour of month

From the article:
"Ian Niewoudt and Gideon Theron, the two wine makers that KWV, the wine and brandy maker, fired after they admitted to adding flavourants to last year's sauvignon blanc, are back in the wine industry."
I guess that old saying about 'Once Bitten, Twice Shy' doesn't translate in to South Africanese.
"Ian did make a mistake. What is the chance that he would in his life become involved in something like that again? He realises 100 percent what the implications would be.

"He has been given a second chance and I can assure you if he makes himself guilty of something like this again, he will not get a third chance."
I should hope not. And what would the implications be for the new employer?
