The Australian Grape and Wine Authority (AGWA) is the single Australian Government statutory service body for the Australian grape and wine community. We commenced on 1 July 2014 under the Act, which merged the RD&E activities of the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation and the market development and regulatory activities of Wine Australia Corporation in one body. We conduct many of our activities under our trading name Wine Australia. This is our long-established brand for our market development activities, and our sector stakeholders have strongly supported the use of ‘Wine Australia’.
