Synopsis

The Australian wine industry has virtually reinvented itself...it has proved a great ambassador for Australia. Brian Croser, winemaker. But how did it all happen? How did Australia achieve such phenomenal success in its wine business? Historian and wine writer, Nicholas Faith gives an in-depth account of the growth and international boom of Australia's wine industry and describes how these wines have risen to the point of becoming the world's number one wine choice. The story of wine in Australia is relatively untold, yet Australia is setting the pace for this product world-wide. This book examines the best elements in Australia's character - from willingness to innovate to a disregard for tradition to embracing exactly what the consumer demands, and charts the success and story of Australia's wine trade.
