The 2019 Wine Industry Impact Awards were held last week. The event celebrates the impact of value chain partnerships on the capability and competitiveness of Australian Wine Producers. There are awards for 8 different categories, including a Start Up category which had Roseanne sitting on the judging panel.
The 7 winning businesses will be part of an accelerator program which is aimed at making South Australia the global hub for grape and wine tech businesses. The FOMENT program is funded by the South Australian Government and will be run out of the Tonsley Innovation Hub.
