Australian Wines

Vines have been grown in Australia since 1788, when the first emigrants from England arrived there, bringing vines with them. The south, south-eastern and south-western parts of the continent were found to have a climate ideally suited to the planting of vineyards, and in the 1960s, Australian wine-making was changed significantly by the introduction of controlled fermentation, which produces fresher white wines.

Today, Australia produces consistently good wines that are generally fruity and soft. However, only a very small quantity rank alongside the best wines of the world.
