Vinarchy has welcomed the signing of the Australia-European Union Free Trade Agreement, highlighting the strengthened market access and long-term opportunities it creates for Australian wine producers.
Vinarchy CEO Danny Celoni said the agreement marks a significant milestone for the Australian wine industry, particularly for exporters with an established presence in Europe.
“As a major Australian wine producer with a significant export footprint across Europe, we commend the Australian Government and Minister for Trade Don Farrell for securing this important trade deal for Australia,” Mr Celoni said.
“The removal of tariffs on Australian wine exports to EU member states will support the long-term competitiveness of Australian wine on shelf in a vital export market, while paving the way for further cooperation on wine trade into the future.”
The European Union remains one of the world’s largest and most influential wine markets.
Improved access is expected to enhance the visibility and accessibility of Australian wines for European consumers, while providing greater certainty for producers navigating international trade conditions.
“The agreement comes at a pivotal time for the industry, supporting diversification of export markets and reinforcing Australia’s reputation as a leading global wine producer,” Mr Celoni said.
