WE ARE PRACTITIONERS

ACWP was established in 2021, actively involved in growing most Australian grapes and wine. We serve domestic and global markets. We add value to industry strategy and policy if embedded in relevant structures and forums where practitioners’ perspectives are valued.  

As practitioners, we believe our value chain network and distribution network must be practical, innovative, and flexible to absorb the changing preferences of consumers. Our scale is our advantage.
