AWRI celebrates 60 years

The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) celebrates its 60th birthday today – 60 years of world class research and technical support for Australia’s wine industry. Based at the Waite Research Precinct in Urrbrae, SA, the AWRI is an independent national organisation, serving growers and winemakers across all of Australia’s wine regions. From just a handful of employees in 1955, the AWRI now employs 115 scientists, winemakers, viticulturists and technical staff all working for the benefit of the Australian grape and wine producers.
