For several successive years, Australia has over taken France as the biggest exporter of wine to the UK.  Many of the original vines were planted by German immigrants in the 19^th century and remarkably, their industry has achieved its aims of global prominence in less than 20 years mainly through accessible fruit forward wines. Single varietal Aussie wines usually do what they say on the tin, in contrast to the often obscure European labels.  At the same time their super-efficient methods of production set a global benchmark.
