Australian Wineries
"The vines were brought here on the first ships
in 1788 No wonder we like a drink"!
Australian Wineries now produce some of
the very best wines in the world.
Wine making has been dated back before the Bronze age, that is somewhere around c.3500 - 2900BC. The people of the world have not changed
that much, we still like a drink. Grape growing and winemaking spread throughout Europe and finally onto the ships to land in Australia in 1788. Vines were
originally planted in Australia at Farm Cove.
Due to various difficulties, such as problems with growing conditions and storage, wine making did not quite take off until vines arrived
from France some years later. But Australian wine making certainly kicked on from there.
Some time in the early 1820's Aussie wine makers had produced some 90 thousand litres. And we were also already picking up our share of medals back
in Europe.
Wine growing was spreading throughout AUSTRALIA. In the 1900's we were suppling great quantities of wine to the United Kingdom, somewhere around 4.5
million litres, mainly reds.
The rest is history; Australia is now a major wine producing country.
Taste the reds, visit our famous wine country, travel from the pristine wilderness of Tasmania in the
south to Cape York in the north, journey from the Pacific to the Indian Oceans ... there are vineyards and wineries to visit all over Australia.
