“For us Australian Wine Discovery has been an essential tool that we have leveraged across our markets (Asia, Americas and EMEA) to provide our marketing, sales and external distributer partners with a fundamental understanding of Australian wine, winemaking practices and key varietals. We have been able to overlay it with our wines to communicate key selling points and it has also helped us in the structuring of our own internal learning modules, taking inspiration from the content, flow and messaging to communicate wine knowledge with a lean towards our sales objectives.”

Farnaz Miladi, Brand Education Specialist, Pernod Ricard

This Australian Wine Discovered (AWD) education platform covers the latest information and various insights about Australian wines. By using these AWD modules, you can obtain updated information about Australian wine very easily. I use it as a very effective tool for wine education. The Australian Wine Discovered is highly versatile as it is freely editable with very sophisticated design. I am sure that you will find this platform as easy to use and helpful as I have!

“I’ve had the opportunity to deliver Australian Wine Discovered programs to both Australian and international markets and the presentations, information and resources were easy to access, use and contextualise. The information is relevant, up to date and the messages and themes spot on. The response from participants has been overwhelmingly positive and I will be using it in our Wine School to deliver consistent training on Australian wine and regions.”

Its more than 200 modules are extremely clearly structured and offer everything that educators, lecturers and other professionals need: Photos, videos and entire PowerPoint presentations which are fully editable. And the coolest thing: it's all free of charge.”
