Technical Review is the AWRI’s own technical publication, which includes updates on AWRI research, development and extension and a curated selection of the most recent grape and wine literature recommended by AWRI Emeritus Fellow Dr Peter Dry and Engagement Specialist Matt Holdstock.

Use the Current Literature tabs below to navigate between topics. Articles that are available online are linked directly to publishers’ websites where you can read the full-text versions. Australian winemakers and grapegrowers can request articles that are not freely available online from the John Fornachon Memorial Library. Log in to the library catalogue to browse abstracts, and use ‘Add to your cart’ to request a copy.
