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.
