The RA&HS has established this competition and seminar as an annual event to lift the profile of those schools that make wine, enable the school’s wines to be judged by a professional judging panel, promote the vocations of viticulture and wine making and be an educational experience for the students involved.

​

The establishment of the Australian Schools Wine Competition as a section of the Royal Adelaide Wine Show will raise the profile of the wine industry within schools across South Australia and Australia.

​

The judging of a red and white wine and wine labels by a Royal Adelaide Wine Show panel will be an excellent education experience for the schools and give them feedback on the quality of their wines and how they might be evolved. The presentation by a Wine Committee member that explains the judging process and the viewing of the wines being judged will also be an excellent experience for the students.
