Australian wine brand McWilliam’s Wines announced that it will be the official wine supplier of the 2024 Australian Paralympic Team.

Scott McWilliam, sixth generation family member and global brand ambassador for McWilliam’s Wines, said the company was thrilled to be supporting the Paralympic team.

“The work they do for improving accessibility for all Australians with a disability, and for delivering world class leadership in para-sport is very admirable and I, like many Australians, can’t wait to see what our athletes will achieve on the world stage,” said McWilliam.

“We are certain they will be raising many glasses in celebration of our athletes’ achievements, and we are so proud it will be McWilliam’s Wines there with them!” he added.

“McWilliam’s Wines has been a proudly Australian owned and made wine brand for 147 years so to be the Official Wine of the Australian Paralympic Team is a very proud moment for everyone in our organisation,” said Carrah Lymer, brand manager for McWilliam’s Wines.

“In 1982, McWilliam Wines was a major sponsor and official supplier of the Brisbane Commonwealth Games so it is nice to see McWilliam’s Wines involved in such an iconic sporting moment for Australia once again, said Lymer.

Once the athletes return from Paris, McWilliam’s Wines will be served at their black-tie QLD Premier’s Welcome Home Dinner in Brisbane.

McWilliam’s Wines will continue to support Paralympics Australia with wine for their engagements and fundraising initiatives for the remainder of 2024.

“We are delighted to welcome McWilliam’s Wines to the Australian Paralympic movement,” said Cameron Murray, chief executive officer of Paralympics Australia.

“McWilliam’s is a prestigious brand with a rich history in Australia and we’re excited about the potential of our new partnership. I look forward to raising a glass with McWilliam’s Wines to celebrate responsibly in honour of the remarkable achievements of our Australian team.”
