Australian wine Export Report

About the report

The Australian wine Export Report provides a summary and analysis of total exports of Australian wine.

It includes key data and trends by:

• Destination market
• Container type
• Variety
• Export value and volume

The report is updated twice a year, with additional quarterly data available through the Export Dashboard. See also the Australian wine Export Monitor.

Export Summary (12 months ended June 2026)

• Export value: $2.30 billion ^[1] (down 7%)
• Export volume: 598 million litres (down 6%)
• Average value: $3.84 per litre FOB ^[2] (down 1%)

Overall export performance declined in both value and volume compared to the previous year.

Key drivers of export performance

• Reduced shipments to mainland China as the initial post-tariff restocking phase ended and underlying consumer demand remained subdued
• Exports to the United Kingdom fell to their lowest level in 25 years, driven mainly by declining demand for commercial and mid-priced wines
• The United States continued its long-term decline, with export volume and value down

Export growth is becoming increasingly concentrated in a smaller number of markets, particularly Canada and emerging Asian destinations, while mature markets in Europe and North America continue to experience structural declines in wine consumption and increased competition.

Regional performance

• Europe remains the largest export region by volume and second by value:
  • Down 7% to 267 million litres
  • Decline driven by shipments to the UK, Germany and Denmark
• North America:
  • Second-largest region by volume
  • Down 5% to 164 million litres
  • Significant decline in shipments to the United States more than offset continued growth in Canada
• Northeast Asia remains the largest export region by value and third by volume:
  • Down 5% to 104 million litres
  • Declines across mainland China and Hong Kong
  • Partially offset by growth in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan
• Southeast Asia:
  • Up 6% to 24 million litres
  • Growth driven by Thailand and Singapore
