Technical Review is the AWRI’s own technical publication, which includes updates on AWRI research 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.
Australian winemakers and grapegrowers can visit the library catalogue to view abstracts and request the latest non-open access journal articles from the John Fornachon Memorial Library, free of charge. Register for a new login or use the forgotten password link to reset your password.
