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 – 2024 financial year

Over the last ten financial years (prior to 2024), the total volume of exported wine has been between 621 million litres and 852 million litres per annum, with a total value of between A$1.81 billion and A$2.87 billion FOB.

Total wine volume has declined by an average of 1.2 per cent per year over the past 10 years, while value has increased by an average of 1.9 per cent per year. The five-year average growth rates are lower than the 10-year rates, largely influenced by the declines between 2021 and 2023.

In the 2024 financial year, the value of Australian wine exports increased by 17.4 per cent to $2.2 billion and volume decreased by 0.2 per cent compared with the previous year to 619 million litres.

Compared to the previous year, bottled still white wine exports decreased by 1 per cent in volume while bottled red wine increased by 7 per cent. Sparkling wine increased by 2 per cent in value to $39 million and increased by 6 per cent in volume to 6 million litres in the financial year ended 30 June 2024.
