Abstract Online information produced by Australian wine makers over the past eight years has been examined to determine what has been created and what is being preserved. The longevity of a number of Australian winery websites is examined, and sites in the digital archives of the National Library of Australia's Pandora project and the United States-based Internet Archive are compared and contrasted. Implications for future research if current preservation strategies remain unchanged are considered.
