Campaign to boost WA vineyards’ international wine exports

A NEW campaign to help WA wine producers satisfy the growing global thirst is planned. The State Government is in talks with the local wine industry to set up a specialist “export development office” in Perth, The Sunday Times can reveal. If given the go-ahead, the ­initiative would aim to get more WA wine on to shop shelves and restaurant tables around the world. The EDO is a proposed partnership between the Australian Grape and Wine Authority, Wines of WA and the Department of Agriculture and Food.
