The first grapevine planting material arrived in Australia with wine settlement in 1788. Today grapes are grown commercially in all States and Territories. Grape growing (wine, raisin, and table) is the largest fruit industry in Australia with production in a wide range of environments from temperate to tropical. Wine grape production and wine making is the largest and most predominant of the three viticulture industries. There has been considerable change in production in all three industries over the last 4 years, up to 1999. Wine grape production has almost doubled to million tones and dried grape production has fallen to 119,483 tonnes, largely in response to export markets plus increasing imports of dried grapes.
