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 view abstracts and access the latest non-open access journal articles and books from the John Fornachon Memorial Library, free of charge.
