Wine available for consumption

In 2023–24, 92 million litres of pure alcohol in the form of wine were made available in Australia, a decline from 95.3 million litres in 2022–23.

Per capita availability followed a similar downward trend (Figure 5). The amount of pure alcohol being made available in the form of wine decreased to a point last seen in 2015–16.

There has also been a shift in the types of wine being consumed in the previous 10 years. When examining overall wine availability and ignoring the average alcohol content:

  • The most common form of wine was white table wine, however this has decreased, from 49% of all wine in 2013–14 to 45% in 2023–2024.
  • Over the same period, red wine and rosé made up a larger proportion of wine, from 35% of all wine in 2013–14 to 39% in 2023–24.
  • Other wines (including sparkling wine, fortified wine and vermouth) were stable at 14%–16% of the total volume of wine available in Australia during this time period.
