Australia's wines are worth approximately one billion export dollars annually.
The wine industry in Australia is flourishing, and that includes the steadily expanding Western Australian wine grape industry. In Western Australia the gross value of grapes and grape products was $115 million dollars over the 2002/03 financial year. Of this $44 million was gained from international exports.
The Western Australian wine grape industry is concentrated in the state's southwest. The climate and soils of the southwest are well suited to growing vines. These factors together with the wise use of water mean high quality wine grapes can be grown. High quality grapes mean premium wines.
