Abstract
The ASVO organises and conducts seminars on specialised topics to promote education in viticulture and oenology.The purpose of inviting international scholars to Australia is to allow them to interact with researchers and industry, giving an international perspective, and to present at the ASVO seminar in Adelaide.
The aim of the Adelaide seminar was to present some of the latest viticultural and winemaking research findings, as well as some new and existing techniques and management options that could help growers to improve fruit quality and vineyard profitability at all production price points; a key component in improving the profitability of winegrape production in Australia.
