Celebrating stories of wine science through original music.
The Australian Wine Research Institute and Max Savage bring their acclaimed science-meets-music show back for another night of original entertainment. Seven decades of wine research come alive through songs, stories and some truly terrible jokes – plus wine tasting.
No wine or science knowledge is required. AWRI's scientific papers are transformed into music spanning spoilage-yeast mambos to volatile sesquiterpene rockabilly and indie-grunge odes to tractor automation. Meet the scientists over a glass of wine if you're lucky.
Max Savage's genre-defying blend of absurdist folklore and rock swagger has made him an Adelaide cultural icon. Across fifteen years, he's mastered everything from elegiac ballads to experimental jazz, bringing front-bar energy to every performance.
The AWRI has been perfecting Australian wine since 1955 – from better irrigation to solving wine faults - this is one experiment you don't want to miss. Gather your friends for music, science and great wine.
