Australian wine regions

Australia is a large country - Margaret River is further from the Hunter Valley than Jerez in Spain is from Tokaji in Hungary - so, despite the distinctive national approach to wine, Australian wines are not all the same. The wines of Margaret River and of the Hunter Valley differ as much as sherry and tokay do. The three most important wine-producing states are South Australia, Victoria and New South Wales. As well as bulk production, they each have specific premium wine regions.

The Oxford Companion to Wine (2nd ed)

James Halliday calls it "quite simply the best all-purpose work on wine that has ever been written, or is ever likely to be." Now in its second edition, The Oxford Companion to Wine is recognised as the authoritative guide to the world of wine. Substantially revised and expanded with more than 500 new entries, the new edition illuminates the dramatic growth of the wine industry, the impact of technology on wine-making and the influence of shifting consumer tastes on the marketplace. Every aspect of wine and wine-making is explored, including in-depth analysis of the vast range of wines currently available. With such breadth and depth of coverage, the Companion is the essential reference work on wine.
