Wine production and exports

This drop represents a first in six years; during this period, production saw year on year growth, reaching 611 million liters in the financial year 2018. Conversely, red wine production saw an increase in the same year to 684 million liters, suggesting a recovery from a production drop in the 2018 financial year.

Growth is expected to continue until at least 2023, reaching around 3.6 billion Australian dollars during this year.
