Australian Journal of Grape and Wine Research is a peer-reviewed scientific journal focused on viticulture and oenology. It serves researchers, winemakers, and institutions by publishing original research, reviews, and technical notes on grape production and wine science. The journal interfaces with academic, governmental, and industry stakeholders across Australia, Europe, North America, and Asia.
The journal publishes empirical studies and applied research connecting vineyard management, grape physiology, wine chemistry, sensory analysis, and market-oriented studies. Contributors and readers include scholars affiliated with University of Adelaide, La Trobe University, University of California, Davis, CSIRO, CSIRO laboratories, and research institutes such as SARDI and AgResearch. It is cited by agencies and bodies including Wine Australia, International Organisation of Vine and Wine, Groupe de Recherche en Œnologie partners, and national academies like the Australian Academy of Science.
The journal's scope spans experimental viticulture, canopy management, rootstock and clone trials, irrigation research, and pest and disease management linked to agents such as Phylloxera, Botrytis cinerea, Pierce's disease, and Plasmopara viticola. It covers enology topics including fermentation microbiology with microbes like Saccharomyces cerevisiae, malolactic fermentation involving Oenococcus oeni, wine chemistry addressing phenolics, tannins, and volatile compounds studied by teams at institutions like INRA and Agroscope. Interdisciplinary content connects to sensory science from groups at Monell Chemical Senses Center, analytical techniques such as gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry used by Max Planck laboratories, and modeling approaches developed in collaboration with universities like University of Bordeaux and University of California, Berkeley.
Established in the mid-1990s, the journal emerged from initiatives by Australian viticultural societies and research networks including Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology and collaborations with international partners such as European Society for Enology and Viticulture. Its publication schedule follows a quarterly rhythm similar to journals like American Journal of Enology and Viticulture and Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Editorial and publishing operations have interfaced with academic presses and professional publishers that work with titles from Taylor & Francis, Springer Nature, and Wiley-Blackwell. The journal archives are used by historians of agriculture and wine such as contributors from National Library of Australia and curators at the State Library of Victoria.
The editorial board comprises academics and industry scientists from institutions including University of Melbourne, University of Western Australia, University of Sydney, James Cook University, Cornell University, Agri-Food and Biosciences Institute, and CSIRO. Editors draw on peer reviewers who are members of professional societies such as Institute of Masters of Wine and international committees including OIV (International Organisation of Vine and Wine). The peer-review process aligns with best practices endorsed by organizations like Committee on Publication Ethics and editorial standards used by journals such as Nature and Science.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in major bibliographic databases and services comparable to Scopus, Web of Science, CAB Abstracts, and specialized databases used by agricultural researchers like AGRIS and PubAg. It is discoverable through library catalogs including Trove and institutional repositories of universities such as University of Adelaide Library and National Library of New Zealand holdings. Citation tracking reflects inclusion in citation reports produced by entities like Clarivate Analytics.
The journal is recognized within the viticulture and enology community for influencing practice and policy; it is cited by government advisory agencies including Wine Australia and research councils such as Australian Research Council. Academic reception aligns with citations in journals like Food Chemistry, Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Plant Pathology, and Applied and Environmental Microbiology. Industry uptake is evident in technical extension materials produced by state departments including NSW DPI and grower associations such as Australian Wine Research Institute collaborators.
Notable contributions include comparative studies on rootstock performance referencing trials from Barossa Valley and Margaret River, investigations into smoke taint following events like the Black Saturday bushfires and Australian wildfire research, reports on cold-climate viticulture linked to regions such as Yarra Valley, and methodological advances in sensory lexicons used by panels trained at institutions like Monash University and Deakin University. The journal has published influential papers on microbial terroir examined alongside work from Institut Pasteur collaborators, and on sustainable viticulture practices reflecting frameworks from United Nations Environment Programme initiatives.
