Wine types derive from the sort of grape found in the wine producing process, although wine beverage labels sometime make reference to the region where the grape was produced as opposed to the grape itself. In Australia, we have a tendency to label our wines following the grape, as opposed to the region your wine is made. Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon (cah-ber-nay so-vin-yong) may be the name of your wine, along with the grape, that is famous for becoming among the world's finest crimson varietals.

Look a little closer and you'll see Australia creates some of the world's most unique wines. The key to the diversity of Australia's wine industry is the rising popularity of boutique vineyards. These smaller wineries are often run by families or friends brought together by their passion for wine making. Without the large export deals of their more well known competitors, the boutiques can follow their instincts and take more risks to create something truly original. In fact, more tourists are passing over the large labels and seeking out the boutique wineries in their search for that elusive perfect drop.
