ANNUAL PRODUCTION AND INVENTORIES UPDATE The release of the 2003 edition of Australian Wine and Grape Industry, 1329.0 has been delayed until 25 February 2004. Final data are now available from the 2002-03 annual wine production and inventories collections which cover Australian winemakers who crushed 50 tonnes or more of grapes during the year. These data are available in spreadsheet format by contacting Graeme Thomas on (08 8237 7536). Results from the survey show a total of 1,059.4 million litres of beverage wine being produced in 2002-03, a decrease of 11.4% on the previous year. To produce this wine the winemakers crushed 1,398,528 tonnes of grapes which was 12.9% less than the record crush of 2001-02. The fall in the crush followed drought conditions in most wine-grape growing regions. There were 825,000 tonnes of red grapes crushed in 2002-03 while 573,528 tonnes of white grapes were crushed. Final results from the Stocks of Australian Wine and Brandy collection shows that at 30 June 2003 stocks of beverage wine owned by winemakers crushing over 400 tonnes of grapes were 1,581.8 million litres.
