The Australian Wine Encyclopedia

For the first time, James Halliday's unrivalled knowledge about all aspects of wine has been channelled into The Australian Wine Encyclopedia, published by Hardie Grant Books.

More than 800 meticulously researched, authoritative entries cover everything from the personalities involved in the evolution of wine and the great estates that have filled the country's cellars to the viticulture, climate and natural challenges posed by our wine regions. The Australian Wine Encyclopedia investigates, articulates and ultimately celebrates all that makes up the Australian wine landscape.
