The Australian Women in Wine Awards is back for 2016

The Australian Women in Wine Awards (AWIWA) returns in 2016 to give recognition to and acknowledge the work of women in the Australian wine industry. With statistics indicating that female participation in some areas in Australian wine (notably winemaking and viticulture) remains as low as eight to 10 per cent, the aim of the awards – which were founded in 2015 – is to pursue greater gender diversity and become a driver for change.
