The Federation’s three membership categories each have their own Membership Committees.

In addition, the Board is advised by the following committees:

• Established jointly by WFA and Wine Grape Growers' Australia to ensure R&D, especially that funded by industry levies, delivers cost-effective outcomes that meet the current and future needs of the Australian grape and wine industry.

• Provides a forum for direct discussion among stakeholders and responds to political, technological, environmental, regulatory and market driven changes in wine, wine product and brandy packaging.

• Reviews and provide technical input on wine production to Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)
• Provides technical input into international fora, including the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the OIV
• Assesses technical requirements of trading partners and provide advice to WFA to liberalise these requirements.
