Philip Rich’s top 20 wines of 2015

Australia’s wine industry has some cause for celebration. After a tough decade for producers, exports rose in value in 2014/15 for the first time in eight years. Sales to the United States and Britain were up, due largely to the weaker Australian dollar. And while 95 per cent of wine exported to the US is priced below $A5 a litre, the strongest sales growth last year was to the UK, our largest market. Significantly, that was for wines priced above $10 a litre.
