That’s a wrap on our Australia and New Zealand Trade Tasting in Europe!

We visited Antwerp, Amsterdam and Warsaw last week, showcasing 500+ w**es from 100+ w**eries across 39 regions in Australia and New Zealand. Three packed masterclasses, three buzzing trade tastings and a lively consumer tasting evening in Warsaw.

23 Australian and New Zealand w**emakers, w**ery owners and principals came over to pour their w**es and share their stories, and we welcomed 500 guests across the three cities.

Warsaw was a real highlight, with the busiest tasting of the tour, an oversubscribed masterclass (full and standing!), lots of excitement and noise in the room, and w**eries seeking distribution reporting very strong leads.

Happy International Grenache Day!

First planted locally in the mid-1800s, Grenache remains an important part of our w**e story, with more than 13,500 tonnes crushed in 2026.

As part of our market development activity, we're working to build awareness and appreciation of Australian w**e styles, including Grenache, among local w**e drinkers.

Using market insights to guide our approach, we've partnered with trade professionals to showcase outstanding Australian examples of varieties and styles that are gaining popularity amongst consumers.

In the first iteration of The Sommelier's Pick series, Polly Mackarel, Head Sommelier at Infinity by Mark Best and curator of their Australian-only w**e list, shares her views on what makes these w**es worth choosing, helping consumers discover the quality, diversity and stories of Australian w**e.

Today's feature? Grenache.

Watch now on **e or YouTube and keep an eye out for future instalments of The Sommelier's Pick over on our @[_australianw**e] channel on Instagram..
