About the report

The Export Monitor is a one-page high-level historical summary of the total exports of Australian wine. It includes both value and volume of export sales broken down by wine style and container type, plus the percentage shares for each category and percentage change year-on-year for the category over the past 10 financial or calendar years. It does not include variety or regional information.

Report summary – 2022 calendar year

Over the last ten financial years (prior to 2022), the total volume of exported wine has been between 619 million litres and 849 million litres per annum, with a total value of between A$1.79 billion and A$2.91 billion FOB.

Total wine volume has declined by an average of 1.6 per cent per year over the past 10 years, while value has increased by an average of 0.4 per cent per year. The five-year average growth rates are lower than the 10-year rates, largely influenced by the declines in 2021 and 2022.

In the 2022 calendar year, the value of Australian wine exports declined by 4 per cent to $1.94 billion and volume increased by 1 per cent compared with the previous year to 623 million litres.

Compared to the previous year, bottled still white wine exports decreased by 9 per cent in volume while bottled red wine declined by 8 per cent. Sparkling wine increased by 1 per cent in value to $40 million and declined by 1 per cent in volume to 6 million litres in the year ended 31 December 2022.

The report is updated annually. Previous reports are also available. See also the Export Dashboard.
