Thinking small for global appeal

"Nothing makes wine taste better than food, and nothing makes food taste better than wine" is how Stuart Bryce, the president of the Vineyards Association of Tasmania, summed up his attitude to the Australian dairy industry for Tasmanian DIAA conference attendees. The owner and operator of one of Tasmania's oldest and most respected wineries, Providence Vineyards, Mr Bryce said that a partnership between the wine and dairy industries was not only natural, but increasingly necessary. Much like the DIAA, the Vineyards Association of Tasmania, formed in 1974, aims to unite and promote an economically vital industry. It represents more than 100 wine grape growers and winemakers, which is more than 90% of the Tasmanian wine industry.
