All Australian Wine shows are invited annually to provide information on pre or post auditing, including the auditor that they have used and any identified issues.The purpose of the survey is to collect key measures on wine show characteristics to develop a better understanding of national wine practices and behaviours. It will also be used to ensure that our register of experienced wine show auditors is up to date. ASVO maintains this register of Auditors as a free service.

Your responses will be completely confidential. Data is only used in an aggregated, de-identified form and no data will be used or provided that allows the identification of any individual.
ASVO will collate the results of this survey across all Australian Wine Shows that participate and provide the summary results back to your show committee in April.

  • The survey should take less than 2 minutes to answer.
  • All responses are confidential and are for internal use only.
  • The survey is time sensitive and will close on 15 December 2023

SURVEY 

If you are unsure of these definitions, please refer to section 4.7.6 of the 2020 ASVO Wine Show Best Practice Recommendations.

The aim of auditing is to discourage any breach of regulations by an exhibitor, whether through carelessness or deceit, and assure other exhibitors, wine trade, press and consumers that high standards are being maintained.

Wine shows may appoint external or internal auditors

This is optional, it will be used to enable other wine shows to request their services as an auditor.

The purpose is to provide information on the transition to electronic judging.

Wine show judging training

ASVO has developed a short wine judging training session designed specifically for wine industry people (including trade, retail and sommeliers) who wish to enhance their judging skills and understanding of the wine show system.
The ASVO Wine Judging course will provide an entry pathway to young and aspiring judges to gain experience and help provide Australian Wine Shows with a pool of potential associate judges, stewards and volunteers by providing a comprehensive understanding of wine evaluation techniques, sensory analysis, and quality assessment, this course will enable individuals to become future wine show judges.
