TABLE WINE, Soft pack containers: Trend EXPORTS OF AUSTRALIAN PRODUCED WINE ANNUAL EXPORTS OF AUSTRALIAN PRODUCED WINE The graph below shows that there has been steady growth in original terms in the quantity of exports of Australian produced wine over the last sixteen years. In 1988-89, 39.0 million litres of wine were exported. Exports gradually grew over the next four years to reach over 100 million litres in 1992-93. By 1998-99 exports had reached 200.9 million litres. Since then there has been rapid growth with 284.9 million litres of wine exported in 1999-2000, a 41.8% rise on 1998-99. Over the following three years there were rises of 18.7%, 23.7% and 24.0% respectively. In 2003-04 exports totalled 584.3 million litres, an increase of 12.7% on 2002-03. Exports of Australian produced wine, Annual totals: Original EXPORTS OF WHITE AND RED/ROSÉ TABLE WINE In original terms, 62.1 million litres of Australian produced wine were exported in April 2005, an increase of 10.2% on March 2005 and 23.5% on April 2004. In April 2005, 20.6 million litres of Australian produced white table wine were exported, an increase of 13.6% on March 2005 and 18.2% on April 2004. Australia exported 40.3 million litres of Australian produced red and rosé table wine in April 2005, an increase of 8.7% on March 2005, and 25.8% on April 2004. EXPORTS OF TABLE WINE BY TYPE: Original UNIT VALUE OF WINE EXPORTS In original terms, 62.1 million litres of wine valued at $232.8m were exported in April 2005, an increase of 10.2% in quantity and 2.8% in value on March 2005. The average value of Australian wine exported in April 2005 was $3.75 per litre, down from $4.30 per litre in April 2004, and $4.02 per litre in March 2005. UNIT VALUE OF WINE EXPORTS: Original DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ABS AND AWBC WINE EXPORT FIGURES The value of wine exports reported in this publication is derived by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) from customs export records and the ABS converts the value on the day of shipment, at the daily conversion rate (see paragraph 10 of the Explanatory Notes for more detail). The Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation (AWBC) also report the value of exports and the exporter makes the conversion when submitting wine for export approval. With the AWBC method, it is expected that some of the conversions will occur at hedged rates. This does not occur with the ABS method. For April, the value reported by the ABS was $232.8m, while the AWBC value was $235.8m. When the Australian exchange rate is moving significantly the alternative methods will result in diverging valuations.
