Australian wine exports rise in value and volume

In the 12 months to 30 June 2015, the value of Australian wine exports rose five per cent to A$1.89 billion according to the Wine Export Approval Report June 2015 released today by Wine Australia. This is the first time the value of wine exports has increased on a financial year basis since 2006–07. Andreas Clark, Wine Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, said growth in value was driven by the strength of Australian exports in the Asian market. “The value of wine exports to Northeast Asia was up 29 per cent and Southeast Asia was up 18 per cent.”
