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 1987-88, 39.1 million litres of wine were exported. Exports gradually grew over the next five 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 584.1 million litres, an increase of 12.6% on 2002-03. Exports of Australian produced wine, Annual totals: Original EXPORTS OF WHITE AND RED/ROSÉ TABLE WINE In original terms, 60.2 million litres of Australian produced wine were exported in August 2004, an increase of 18.3% on July 2004, and 11.3% on August 2003. In August 2004, 22.3 million litres of Australian produced white table wine were exported, an increase of 13.9% on July 2004, but a decrease of 2.8% on August 2003. Australia exported 36.6 million litres of Australian produced red and rosé table wine in August 2004, a increase of 19.8% on July 2004 and 23.4% on August 2003. EXPORTS OF TABLE WINE BY TYPE: Original UNIT VALUE OF WINE EXPORTS In original terms, 60.2 million litres of wine valued at $244.5m were exported in August 2004, an increase of 18.3% in quantity and 14.2% in value on July 2004. The average value of Australian wine exported in August 2004 was $4.06 per litre, down from $4.18 per litre in August 2003 and also down when compared to $4.20 per litre in July 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 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 August, the value reported by the ABS was $244.5m, while the AWBC value was $250.5m. When the Australian exchange rate is moving significantly the alternative methods will result in diverging valuations. IMPORTS AND DISPOSALS OF AUSTRALIAN PRODUCED WINE WINE IMPORTS CLEARED FOR HOME CONSUMPTION In original terms, 1.7 million litres of wine were imported, an increase of 17.8% in quantity and 36.6% in value on July 2004. The average value of wine imports cleared for home consumption in August 2004 was $9.40 per litre, up from $7.66 per litre in August 2003. WINE IMPORTS CLEARED: Original DISPOSALS OF AUSTRALIAN PRODUCED WINE AND WINE AVAILABLE FOR CONSUMPTION IN AUSTRALIA The original data for the June quarter 2004 shows that wine available for consumption in Australia increased 2.6% on the same quarter in 2003. Domestic sales of Australian wine increased 1.8% and wine imports increased 34.6%. Total disposals of Australian produced wine increased by 9.3% on the same quarter in 2003 with exports also increasing by 14.6%.
