Wine production

Explore information, research and practical resources covering key areas of wine production.

These resources can help wineries improve production processes, understand specific winemaking techniques, manage quality risks and respond to production issues.

Wine production involves a series of interconnected processes and decisions that influence the quality, stability, sensory characteristics and consistency of finished wine.

Research and technical knowledge can help winemakers understand and manage processes such as fermentation, yeast and bacteria, blending, colour, flavour and tannin. It can also support the identification and management of faults and taints, including smoke taint, and inform decisions about stabilisation, packaging, bulk wine and production efficiency.

Wine Australia invests in research and innovation relevant to winery production and supports the adoption of research outcomes by the Australian grape and wine sector.

Explore technical information, research and practical resources covering winemaking processes, wine quality and production challenges.

Regulatory considerations

Some production decisions also have regulatory implications. Wine Australia provides regulatory services to safeguard product integrity and help maintain confidence in the standards expected of Australian wine. Where relevant, use the related regulatory information and resources alongside technical winemaking guidance.
