Australia

Australian wines are known for their bold flavors and fruitiness. Some of the most popular grape varieties grown in Australia include: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. The most important wine regions in Australia are Barossa Valley, Hunter Valley, Margaret River, Yarra Valley and Adelaide Hills.

Australian wine has a long history dating back to the early 18th century, when the first vines were planted by British settlers. The industry grew steadily over the next few centuries into what it is now the world's sixth-largest wine producer and the fifth-largest exporter.
