More than 3500 wine sector heavy hitters are in Adelaide this week for the Australian wine industry’s biggest event as it faces its biggest challenges in more than a decade.
Soaring costs, an oversupply of grapes leading to high inventory levels, supply chain issues and falling exports in the past 18 months have placed enormous pressure on the industry.
AWITC chair Dr Mark Krstic said the event will provide the latest information across a wide range of technical and business topics, as well as showcasing the newest innovative technologies and services.
He said the event was expecting about 3500 people to come through the trade exhibition while more than 1200 delegates registered for plenary sessions and workshops.
