What is Vinodiversity?

Vinodiversity is the only website solely about Australian wines made from alternative grape varieties. There are over a hundred and sixty of these varieties described on this site.

In its short history of just over 200 years the Australian wine industry has undergone a bewildering number of changes. There have been booms and busts, pestilence, taxes, economic crises and rapid changes in consumer tastes.

It's always been changing, but never so rapidly as it is today.
