National Wine and Grape Industry Centre
Research at the NWGIC
Research at the NWGIC is based on a Wine Production Systems approach that has the following four interfacing themes:
- Vine health and the vine environment
- Envirophysiological research
- Environment and sustainable viticulture
- Wine Science and technology
Projects in these theme areas are funded by the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation (GWRDC), and the Australian Research Council (ARC) through its Linkage scheme.
In July 2006, the NWGIC signed a partnership contract with the GWRDC for a 5-year $30 million co-investment program, the Winegrowing Futures Program.
