Four days to go till our Increasing Efficiencies webinar to kick off 2026. This session brings together four expert perspectives on improving winery efficiency:

- Dr Eric Wilkes (AWRI) – how process-driven analysis can reduce hidden costs and delays by ensuring only value-adding testing is undertaken

- Leon Minnie (Seeley International) – how precise temperature and humidity control in barrel halls can improve quality, reduce operating costs and support sustainability

- Josh Amos-Winfield (Enartis) – using real-time fermentation monitoring, automation and predictive tools to reduce waste and improve decision-making

- Radek Petlak (Efficient Winery) – practical efficiency improvements that can still be implemented ahead of Vintage 2026, across energy, refrigeration, pumping, washing, receiving, pressing, fermentation, sampling and powder additions

The webinar also includes an interactive (not recorded) discussion, giving participants the chance to share what’s working in their own wineries and learn from peers across the industry — a key reason to attend live.

Free for members or $39 for non-members. Sign up at our website today! Link in the comments

Premium wine isn’t just in the vineyard — it’s in the barrel. IDEC technology delivers precise temperature & humidity control for consistent, sustainable maturation. Hear from Leon Minnie from Seeley International during our next webinar about how advanced Indirect‑Direct Evaporative Cooling (IDEC) technology delivers stable maturation conditions that enhance colour, aroma, and consistency while reducing oxidation and “angel’s share” losses.

Register for our 90-minute webinar to explore efficiency in your winery from four expert perspectives — plus an interactive session to share insights and learn from fellow winemakers. Register at link in the comments. $39 or free for members.

It’s been a week since the Wine Industry Impact Awards Gala Dinner, but it feels like yesterday!

Here’s how the evening began…

6:30pm, sun shining, Jansz Tasmanian Sparkling Rosé in hand, and the beautiful sounds of Marissa and Marcus floating across the Intercontinental terrace. And of course fresh oysters thrown in for good measure! 🦪✨

Such a perfect way to kick off an evening celebrating the incredible talent and innovation across our wine industry.

Big thanks to our wonderful photographer, Ben Macmahon , for the fabulous photos of the night.
