NSW Wine Awards
The 2021 NSW Wine Awards were held on 10 December. 21 trophies were awarded to the state’s best wines, including the NSW Governor’s 2021 Best in Show Trophy presented by the Governor of NSW, Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley.
Your Industry Association
The New South Wales Wine Industry Association (NSWWIA) was formed in 1994 in response to a need for the NSW wine industry to be represented by a single, powerful voice on grape growing and winemaking issues.
The Association is now commonly known as 'NSW Wine'.
