The institute was established in 1955 at the Waite campus of the University of Adelaide.[1] It is funded by grape growers and wineries. Its first scientific chief was John Fornachon. An early researcher was Bryce Rankine, who later taught at the Roseworthy College, an oenology institution. The primary aim of the institute in the 1950s was to create good Australian table wines as opposed to traditional fortified wines.[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".[2]
The institute introduced a calculator for enologists in 2023. The tool assists enologists in determining the adequate amount of additives and aids in the winemaking process,
