Cask wine consumption dropping but Queenslanders still love goon

QUEENSLAND has been given the dubious title of being the nation’s biggest goon drinkers. Despite being considered the beverage of bogans and cash-strapped youths, it is pensioners who are buying the most cask wine. New research from Roy Morgan shows that of the 45 per cent of Australians who drink wine, almost 16 per cent love their goon. Queensland is above the national average with 18 per cent of wine drinkers opting for chateau d’cardboard.
