Similar reports have been produced annually since 1988 to provide information for both wine grape producers and winemakers to assist them to plan their production programs based on projected grape supply. While the 2011–12 growing season in many wine grape producing zones was generally favourable, in New South Wales and north-east Victoria the season could be characterised as cool and wet. This meant vigilant canopy management practices were required to control the incidence of disease in the vines. Growers in these two states also endured a significant rainfall event in late February through to early March, which severely affected some vineyards. Yields across most varieties are generally reported to be lower this season compared with the longer- term average, largely on account of reduced fruit set but also because of some weather-related losses later in the season. Total wine grape production in 2011–12 is forecast to be around 1.53 million tonnes, 2 per cent lower than the previous vintage. In the two years to 2013–14, production is projected to recover to about 1.63 million tonnes. This projection is based on current plantings and assumes that favourable seasonal conditions will allow a return to average wine grape yields.

Estimates have been made for total wine grape production in each of Australia’s wine grape producing zones. In 2011 the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) collected vineyard data as part of its Agricultural Census, but reduced its coverage to total wine grape production, bearing and non- bearing areas, and area removed from production.

The vines were planted in the garden of Arthur Phillip, then Governor of the colony, in a site that is now the location of a hotel on Macquarie Street in Sydney. Phillip's early vineyard did not fare well in the hot, humid climate of the region and he sent a request to the British government for assistance in establishing viticulture in the new colony.

  • NSW Food & Wine Tourism Strategy & Action Plan 2018
    New South Wales Food & Wine Tourism Strategy & Action Plan 2018 - 2022 FOREWORD The NSW Food & Wine Tourism Strategy & Action Plan 2018 - 2022 is designed to provide the food and wine sector and the tourism industry with an overview of Destination NSW’s plans to further support the development of food and wine tourism to the State. NSW attracts more domestic and international visitors than any Australian State, giving us a position of strength to leverage in growing consumer interest and participation in food and wine tourism experiences. The lifeblood of this vibrant industry sector is the passion and innovation of our producers, vignerons, chefs and restaurateurs and the influence of our multicultural population on ingredients, cooking styles and cuisine and beverage purveyors. NSW is also home to the oldest and newest wine regions in Australia, world renowned for vintages of exceptional quality. From fifth-generation, family-owned wineries to a new generation of winemakers experimenting with alternative techniques and varietals, the State’s wine industry is a key player in the tourism industry. Alongside our winemakers, a new breed of beverage makers – the brewers of craft beer and ciders and distillers of gin and other spirits – is enriching the visitor experience. The aim of this Strategy & Action Plan is to ensure NSW’s exceptional food and wine experiences become a highlight for visitors to the State. Destination NSW is grateful to the many industry stakeholders who have contributed to the development of this Strategy and Action Plan, and we look forward to working together to deliver outstanding food and wine experiences to every visitor.

  • Inquiry Into Wine Grape Market and Prices
    Submission No 14 INQUIRY INTO WINE GRAPE MARKET AND PRICES Organisation: Wine Grapes Marketing Board Date received: 21/09/2010 WINE GRAPES MARKETING BOARD SUBMISSION TO THE NSW LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL STANDING COMMITTEE ON STATE DEVELOPMENT INQUIRY INTO THE WINE GRAPE MARKET AND PRICES SEPTEMBER 2010 Introduction 1. The Wine Grapes Marketing Board (Board) currently operates under the NSW Agricultural Industry Services Act 1997, the Act and its regulations confers on the Board a specific range of services that it provides to all independent wine grape producers in the City of Griffith and the Local Government Areas of Leeton, Carrathool and Murrumbidgee. 2. The Board has been in operation in the region since 1933, originally setup to countervail the power of wineries in the region. The Board until 2000 had legislation in place through the then NSW Marketing of Primary Products Act to vest the regional wine grape crop and negotiate prices with wine grape purchasers. This ability was stripped from the Board following an extensive competition policy review from which the Board retained the countervailing power to set and enforce terms and conditions of payments for wine grapes that were not subject to a complying contract as prescribed in the current Act. 3. The Board is primarily funded by independent growers by placing a charge on all production at a rate of $3.90 per tonne. This amount is approved by growers each year in accordance with the provisions of the Act. 4. The Board operates in the wine geographical indication called Riverina which produces approximately 16% of Australia’s wine grapes and 65% of New South Wales wine grape production.

  • Carbon Footprint and Sulphur Emissions for International Wine Distribution Using Alternative Routeing and Packaging Scenarios
    Carbon Footprint and Sulphur Emissions for International Wine Distribution using Alternative Routeing and Packaging Scenarios Irina Harris1a, Vasco Sanchez Rodriguesa, Stephen Pettita, Anthony Beresforda, Rodion Liashkob aLogistics and Operations Management Section, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University b Yusen Logistics Abstract There is a large body of research related to carbon footprint reduction in supply chains and logistics from a wide range of sectors where the decarbonisation of freight transport is frequently explored from a single mode perspective and at domestic/regional level (Jardine, 2009; Maersk, 2013; Wiesmann, 2010). The decarbonisation of global freight transport chains needs to take into account a range of alternative transport modes and routes in addition to the decisions related to the alternative product packaging at source or closer to the demand points. This paper intends to address these shortcomings and the research presents a “gate to gate” carbon footprint and sulphur calculations methodology related to the distribution of wine from Australia and Italy to the UK. The methodology adopted in this paper uses secondary data gathered from academic and industrial sources on the distribution of wine from source to market. These were used to evaluate the environmental impact of international wine transport to the UK from two sourcing areas: Italy and Australia. A number of options were evaluated to calculate the carbon footprint and sulphur emissions of alternative route, mode and packaging combinations. The estimation of CO2e emissions incorporates three main elements - cargo mass, distance and transport mode whereas sulphur emissions are derived from actual ship routing, engine power and travel times. The decision made related to the bottling of wine either at source or destination is also integrated into the model.

Wines are judged “blind” by panels which are usually made up of wine professionals – winemakers, journalists, sommeliers etc. The Australian Wine Industry Directory lists about 66 shows for the calendar year in which wines are awarded gold, silver and bronze medals. If the 20 point scale is used, a wine must score at least 18½ to earn gold, and on the 100 point scale a minimum of 95 is required. Of the extensive list of wine shows, Winewise chooses 20, from which only gold medal winners are invited to enter the Championship. That exclusive list is: Adelaide Hills Wine Show Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show Barossa Wine Show Canberra Regional Wine Show Clare Valley Wine Show Geelong Wine Show Gippsland Wine Show Hunter Valley Wine Show International Riesling Challenge International Sweet White Challenge Langhorne Creek Wine Show Limestone Coast Wine Show Margaret River Wine Show McLaren Vale Wine Show Mornington Peninsula Vignerons Wine Show Mudgee Wine Show National Cool Climate Wine Show National Wine Show New England Wine Show (Incl.
