Wine and Grapes

Victoria is the third largest wine producing state in Australia, behind South Australia and New South Wales, with 16.3 per cent of national production in 2007/08 (300,000 tonnes out of 1.8 million tonnes).

Victoria’s wine grape growing industry includes both independent growers which sell their produce to wineries and a large number of wineries which grow grapes for their own use.
