Australian Wine Revolution

1 hour Directed by Steve Oliver
Made for ABC and BBC

It's the 1970s and Australian wine is a joke. Wine is not for drinking, as Monty Python puts it, but for "laying down and avoiding".
This fun and lively documentary is both an entertaining history of the global wine industry - a kind of social history of wine - and an in-depth examination of how a small group of enterprising Australian wine makers took on the world - and won, changing the way that wine is made and marketed as a result.
