APPENDIX 1


BACKGROUND

Derived zones published by the ABS are based on those defined by the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation. These zones are based on Australian Geographical Indication (GI) Zones and Regions, which are the official descriptions of Australian wine zones, regions and sub-regions as defined in the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation Act, 1980. For more detail on Australian GIs, including maps of zones and regions, see the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation website, http://www.wineaustralia.com/australia.
