The other big name in Australian wine has changed. The company that was once The Hardy Wine Company, then Constellation Wines Australia is now Accolade Wines. Today owned by Champ, the Sydney-based equity firm that paid $230 for the business plus its UK operations, Accolade retains a number of key brands including Hardys, Houghton, Banrock Station, Omni, Brookland Valley, Bay of Fires, Arras and Leasingham.
