Australia is fast becoming one of the largest producers, exporters and importers of red wine.  Wine culture is deep set in the country and people enjoy a good glass of wine with the blue collared preferring some of the world’s best champagnes and wines. One of Australia's most famous wines is Penfolds Grange. This is a great 1955 vintage, and it may be interesting to many, that it began to be submitted to competitions in 1962 and over the years, this wine has won more than 50 gold medals and has also remained Wine of the Year.

Situations were not the same in earlier times as they are today. History says that the earliest wine making attempt in Australia was way back in 1788. The then Governor Phillip brought wine cuttings from the Cape of Good Hope in 1788. Unfortunately the first attempt to make wine from these grapes failed but with time winemaking slowly became a success in Australia. Although it must be mentioned that in earlier times the Australian winemakers faced many difficulties mainly because of the unpredictable climate.

Today, however, Australia is one of the largest exporters of some of the world’s best wines and is also a major importer. Looking at the same, Winegrowers Direct Australia set up an online store at http://www.winegrowersdirect.com.au where we are offering some of the best export, import and regular wines at rock bottom prices.
