The Auswine Forum

The WineAus website only outlines future events. Lets start basic, can anyone please tell me if there were any major festivals or exhibitions (or anything similar) during 2008? Im looking for anything that could have drawn extra attention to the wine market.

Good idea, didnt know universities had a 'wine division'. I shall look into that, thanks!

Yah very true about the GFC. However, what would explain the highs? I know an obvious answer is that perhaps people are so poor and have lost so much money they choose to start buying more wine so they can drink their troubles away... However, that is clearly not realistic

For future reference I could give you an example of what it would look like if I was to demand something... 'I see 15 of you have looke...

I feel sorry for you that noone has replied. So I will reply to make you feel better. Of course I won't be able to provide you with a valuable comment relating to your post. However, any comment is better than no comment!

15 of you have looked at it and you have no thoughts?

Hi all, I read something about the wine market going up and down last year and was wondering why this might be. I want to be able to put the market into context of what was happening in the industry during 2008. Perhaps you know of major events that have happened or significant changes to the indust...

okay great. Well I dont actually need an answer anymore so I do hope you all enjoy!

Now the thread is boring!

Hi guys! My post disappeared - is that normal? I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find a good wine mag? Ive read a few dodgey ones and then ive read a couple of the really mainstream one like gourmet traveller and wine (which i liked) and wine state. Does anyone know any other wine m...
