Australia's food industry encompasses a wide range of products. Although predominantly arid, Australia has a range of climates and land types. These include northern tropical areas, high-rainfall coastal regions, arid and semi-arid climates, most of which are used for food production. This variety, combined with cutting edge technology, makes Australia a reliable long-term supplier to global markets.
Australian wine has won an international reputation for quality and value. Australian wines have taken key international awards, competing favourably against longer-established national wine industries. Innovative Australian winemakers are sought internationally for their expertise.
Australia produces a full range of favoured wine styles, from full-bodied reds and deep, fruity whites through to sparkling, dessert and fortified styles. Prized Australian bottlings grace the menus of many of the world's leading restaurants, while popular varietal and blended wines compete on the shelves of wine shops and supermarkets in over 80 countries around the world.
