Viva AWIWA!

The inaugural Australian Women in Wine Awards (AWIWA) are with us. And don’t waste time wondering whether these awards are “necessary”. Instead think of women who make wine, tend vineyards, write restaurant lists, run businesses, put on events, welcome you at the cellar door and in any way make your wine experience better. As it stands female participation in the wine industry is estimated to be around 10%. That's both a huge imbalance and drastic waste of potential. These awards ultimately aim to redress the balance and chase that potential.
