The Wine Council of Australia’s annual Wine Communicator of the Year Awards are back, this year adding two new categories and a new award into the mix. 

The awards acknowledge outstanding contributions to all areas of wine communication.

This year, WCA has divided the ‘Best Wine Book’ and ‘Best Wine Publication’ awards into two categories, technical trade and consumer.

WCA National Chair, Angus Barnes, says he hopes the split will better reflect the distinct contributions of trade and consumer media industries.
