A comprehensive account of the Australian Wine Industry that looks at the massive changes that have occurred since the 1948 publication 'The Wine Industry of Australia'. The 50s and 60s are about little growth and the domination of the brewing companies. The 1970-80 era was that of red wine production and consumption, whilst the 1990's has seen the development of technology and education to the point where production is now 300% greater than in 1949. Includes charts, graphs and tables to support the statistics and trends.
