About grapes and wine

South Australia accounts for almost 80% of Australia’s premium wine, produced from some of the oldest vines in the world.

We dominate the Australian wine industry, with just under half of the country's vineyards situated in South Australia.

Our capital city, Adelaide, has joined an exclusive group of Great Wine Capitals – an internationally renowned network which strengthens our reputation for premium food and wine tourism.

In 2022–23 our wine industry generated $1.9 billion in revenue for South Australia.

For more details, see Vinehealth Australia, the independent statutory authority in SA with a single-minded focus on grape and wine biosecurity.
