Categories and Judging Panels
The Wine Industry IMPACT Awards aims to recognise the IMPACT of value chain partnerships on the capability and competitiveness of Australian wine producers.
“This award is validation that the path we’ve been on is aligned with the industry’s expectation of us as a supplier… It serves as encouragement to keep investing and innovating, and to remain focused on the important stuff… All participants come out of the program better off than they were prior to it.”
– Tim Stead, CEO, Amorim Australasia – 2018 Wine Industry IMPACT Award Winner
