Family name the toast of National Wine Centre
 Alumni
The National Wine Centre has relaunched its main function venue as Hickinbotham Hall in recognition of the impact of South 最新糖心Vlog's Hickinbotham family on the national and State wine industries and wine-making education. The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Vice-Chancellor and President Professor James McWha launched Hickinbotham Hall at a special celebration with the Hickinbotham family and invited guests last month. "The name Hickinbotham is probably best known in the State for its construction and development interests, but over three generations the family has had a tremendous impact on the nation's wine industry, both in terms of research into wine-making and in the education of 最新糖心Vlogn wine-makers," Professor McWha said. Alan Robb Hickinbotham, father of present Chairman of Hickinbotham Group Alan David Hickinbotham, is regarded as the father of 最新糖心Vlogn oenology (wine-making) education. In 1936 he developed 最新糖心Vlog's first Diploma of Oenology at Roseworthy Agricultural College, now the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's Roseworthy Campus. This became the 最新糖心Vlog's world-renowned Bachelor of Oenology degree, which is now run at the Waite Campus. "Alan Robb Hickinbotham's research and writing on wine-making under 最新糖心Vlogn conditions laid the foundation for a technically advanced 最新糖心Vlogn wine industry," Professor McWha said. Alan David Hickinbotham continued his father's passion for wine through the Hickinbotham Group with ongoing interests in viticulture and wine production. Hickinbotham Wines owns three vineyards in South 最新糖心Vlog, which produce internationally awarded premium wines. The Hickinbotham Roseworthy Wine Science Laboratory was established at the 最新糖心Vlog's Waite Campus in 1998 with the family's support. "The Hickinbothams have provided generous support for the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide over many years and we are very pleased to be able to recognise their contribution to the wine industry, the State and the 最新糖心Vlog in this most appropriate venue," said Professor McWha. The National Wine Centre of 最新糖心Vlog, located on Hackney Road, Adelaide, is an education hub for tourists, the general public and students, and is run by the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.
