Report summary

The June 2025 Bulk Wine Monitor shows that Australian bulk prices for major red and white varieties have decreased slightly after a period of stability in the first half of the year, based on Ciatti bulk wine offer prices.

It has been over a year since the surge in prices of red varieties in March last year. In June 2025, the prices of both red and white varieties have decreased slightly since the start of the year, with the exception of generic red which remained the same. Australia continues to record the lowest bulk prices by country for generic red at 38 cents (USD) and Shiraz / Cabernet Sauvignon / Merlot at 45 cents (USD).

Almost all whites have declined in the past 12 months, except for Muscat which remained flat: Chardonnay was down 2 per cent, Pinot Gris/Grigio was down 6 per cent and generic white was down 5 per cent compared with June 2024. The variety with the biggest decline was Sauvignon Blanc, which was down 22 per cent from a year ago, and 12 per cent compared to last month, reaching a record low of 67 cents (USD).
