Why is it that the wine show system in Australia is far more influential, important, and better-run that that of any other country? The short answer is that right from the outset of the system in the second half of the nineteenth century, both the exhibitors and the judges took the whole thing very seriously. Then, as now, the shows were run by the Agricultural Societies of the capital cities, and - as the importance of wine grew - at regional shows likewise run by local agricultural societies.
