In policy forums. Our members make up a significant percentage of the Australian Commercial Wine sector. ACWP are fighting for recognition to ensure a seat at the table, to ensure our voices are heard in the rooms where the future of the Australian Wine Industry is being forged.

Review

Of mandatory levies. Levy arrangements should be relevant and responsive to industry needs. They should be in place to support an industries’ ability to respond to opportunities and problems. ACWP are at the forefront of new and evolving levy information as it is proposed and introduced. We are passionate about ensuring growers and producers have an equitable say when it comes to levies that affect them.

Restore

Supply & demand balance. Recent years have seen the wine industry face complex challenges concerning supply and demand. From economical factors to evolving environmental issues and consumer preferences, all have emphasised the need for resilience and flexibility in the face of an ever-evolving landscape. We are fighting to restore balance and better prepare the industry for future uncertainties.

Recruitment

Of new consumers and skilled workers. We understand the importance of cultivating new wine enthusiasts, especially those outside Australia’s borders. Expanding market reach and driving demand will ensure longevity.
Additionally, attracting skilled workers in all areas will infuse the industry with fresh ideas, expertise, and creativity. Skilled individuals bring invaluable knowledge, not only in traditional methods but new technologies and sustainable practices; essential for securing the future of the commercial wine sector.

A Revolution

Modernise systems and processes. Modernising business practices and customer engagement is an essential and strategic step that will redefine the way business in our industry is conducted. Without losing touch with tradition, by streamlining information systems and embracing modern technology, wineries can optimise various facets of their operations, from vineyard management and production processes to inventory tracking and managing customer relationships.

The Future of the Australian Wine Industry.

Australia is under represented in the world of commercial wine, we should be competing against the big hitters. We have the product; we need the policy.

At ACWP, we believe that prioritising commercial viability in policy making and legislation, will strengthen our presence in international markets and foster both economic growth, accountability and industry sustainability.

Our strategy

A better future is created by speaking up and driving change. Growers and producers deserve to be a part of the conversation.
