Halliday, Hancock and Horgan Honoured by WFA

James Halliday AM, Chris Hancock MW and Denis Horgan AM were named Life Members of the Australian Wine Industry at an awards presentation held by the Winemakers’ Federation of Australia (WFA) in Adelaide last week.

WFA said their efforts in the nation’s vineyards, wineries, boardrooms and discerning wine publications have brought attention to Australian wines globally, and played a key role in the industry’s vibrancy.

WFA President Sandy Clark said, “This coveted Life Member Award recognises outstanding leadership and contribution to the nation’s wine industry over and above an individual’s career achievements.

“Chris, Denis and James are worthy winners and take their place among other greats including Wolf Blass, d’Arry Osborn, Philip Laffer, John May, Terry Lee, Peter Barnes, Peter Wall and Bill Chambers. The Winemakers’ Federation of Australia is proud to administer this award.”
