Australia's best known "wine country" is probably the Barossa Valley, in South Australia. However, there are numerous other significant wine regions, including the Margaret River area of southwest Western Australia, the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, the Yarra Valley in Victoria and the Granite Belt in southern Queensland.
Wine Australia was created in 1981.

The Yarra, Ovens, Hunter, Mitta, and Barossa refer to prominent wine regions in Australia, each known for their distinct viticulture. The Yarra Valley is famous for its cool-climate wines, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Hunter Valley is one of Australia's oldest wine regions, renowned for its Semillon and Shiraz. The Mitta Mitta Valley is a lesser-known area producing quality cool-climate wines, while the Barossa Valley is celebrated for its robust Shiraz and rich, full-bodied wines, making it one of Australia's most iconic wine regions.
The UK imports red wine from several key regions around the world, with France being the largest supplier, particularly known for its Bordeaux and Burgundy wines. Other significant sources include Italy, with its diverse offerings from regions like Tuscany and Piedmont, and Spain, famous for Rioja and Ribera del Duero. Additionally, Australia and the United States contribute to the UK’s red wine imports, with popular varieties from areas like California and Barossa Valley.

Syrah wine is made from the juice of the Shiraz grape, also known as the Syrah grape. Native to France, the Syrah grape is grown in Spain, the U.S., Italy, South Africa, Italy and elsewhere. Called Shiraz in Australia, the wine has become enormously popular internationally. Therefore, wine from the grape is usually now marketed as Shiraz.
