Strong export growth for Australian wine

The value of Australian wine exports has seen a seven year spike in the past 12 months, rising eight per cent to $1.96 billion, according to a report released by Wine Australia today. Export Report September 2015 signals the need for improvement in profitability for Australian wine, with the rate of value growth currently outpacing volume which increased five per cent to 734 million litres. Andreas Clark, Wine Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, said the export results are “unambiguously good news” for the grape and wine community.
