Australian Wine Research Institute

The Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) is a research institute with a focus on Australian wine, based in Adelaide, South Australia.

It is based at the Wine Innovation Cluster, situated in the Waite Research Precinct, in the Adelaide suburb of Urrbrae, South Australia.

An early researcher was Bryce Rankine, who later taught at the Roseworthy College, an oenology institution.

[2] Research done by the institute has looked at "oxidation, hazes and deposits caused by trace amounts of iron and copper, and the need for better yeast strains, more effective use of sulphur dioxide, and pH control" as well as "research into new grape varieties".

The tool assists enologists in determining the adequate amount of additives and aids in the winemaking process,
