Pernod Ricard Pacific, formerly the Orlando Wyndham Group, is a large Australian wine, spirits, and beverage company. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the world’s second largest wine and spirits producer Pernod Ricard, and distributes many of their key brands within Australia.
In 1989 Pernod Ricard purchased Orlando Wines, and then a year later, in 1990, the Hunter Valley winery Wyndham Estate. The same year the Orlando Wyndham Group was formed by the drawing together of the two companies. In 2005 Pernod Ricard took over Allied Domecq and the New Zealand business unit Allied Domecq NZ was integrated into the company which was subsequently renamed to Pernod Ricard Pacific.
