ABOUT WBM

WBM – Australia’s Wine Business Magazine is one of the great wine industry publications.

The bimonthly magazine is owned by Madigan Media and based in the little wine town of Balhannah in the Adelaide Hills.

In 2012 UK company Wine Intelligence named the owner, Anthony Madigan, as one of 30 wine industry leaders who had made a significant contribution to the global wine business over the previous 10 years.

Launched in Adelaide in 2005, this beautiful, critically acclaimed magazine covers a range of topics including winemaking, viticulture, sales, marketing, communication, exports, finance, cellar doors, mental health, R&D, tax and direct-to-consumer wine sales.

Our growing audience includes winemakers, grapegrowers, viticulturists, winery owners, winery managers, wine marketers, CEOs, wine industry professionals and the wine trade.

With all the talk about moderation and responsible consumption of alcohol sweeping the world, it makes sense to package wine in smaller formats or at least have them as an option. Sisters Renee Murphy and Adele McCreery are setting up a business called Half Sisters, where half bottles will be the only offering. #wine #HalfSister #winebusiness #WBM Subscribe to WBM - Australia’s Wine Business Magazine.
Mount Langi Ghiran Grampians Talus Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer. “The cool 2021 season sets a beautiful profile of pure blueberry fruits and elevates the signature black pepper of Langi. The juicy and glossy mood of this label perfectly contrasts the fine-boned style of the season, impeccably structured with super-fine tannins. Perfect to drink now, while its Mast and Langi siblings rest in the cellar.” $60. @mtlangighiran @grampianswine #MountLangiGhiran #Grampians #beautiful
