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.

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 Exports data for February is not yet available (see Data Notes above). In original terms, 43.8 million litres of Australian produced wine were exported in January 2005, a decrease of 18.7% on December 2004, but an increase of 14.0% on January 2004. In January 2005, 14.9 million litres of Australian produced white table wine were exported, a decrease of 9.1% on December 2004, but an increase of 19.7% on January 2004. Australia exported 28.3 million litres of Australian produced red and rosé table wine in January 2005, a decrease of 21.1% on December 2004, but an increase of 12.0% on January 2004. EXPORTS OF TABLE WINE BY TYPE: Original UNIT VALUE OF WINE EXPORTS In original terms, 43.8 million litres of wine valued at $173.5m were exported in January 2005, a decrease of 18.7% in quantity and 23.6% in value on December 2004. The average value of Australian wine exported in January 2005 was $3.96 per litre, down from $4.12 per litre in January 2004, and also a decrease when compared to $4.21 per litre in December 2004. 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 9 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 January, the value reported by the ABS was $173.5m, while the AWBC value was $180.9m. When the Australian exchange rate is moving significantly the alternative methods will result in diverging valuations. For February, the value of exports reported by the AWBC was $194.5m (see Data Notes above). .
