The book entitled 'Which winegrape varieties are grown where? A global empirical picture (Revised Edition)' is a unique compendium of data on winegrape bearing areas by variety and region. In its first edition it drew on the Anderson and Aryal database of December 2013, which covered 48 countries for the years 2000 and 2010 in detail plus less-complete national data for circa 1990, 1980, 1970 and 1960. That database and book have since been revised, expanded and updated to 2016. The first version of the book was awarded the 2014 OIV Prize from the Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin for the best viticulture book published in 2013. It was downloaded more than 100,000 times by end-2018. The revised version is downloadable as a free ebook from the University of Adelaide Press here or by clicking the red button below. It is also purchasable as an 800-page print-on-demand paperback from online bookstores such as Amazon. The grey button below allow free access to the data and files from Box, on which the ebook drew. The blue buttons below allow downloading the data in Excel directly.

The motivation to assemble these historical annual data was to learn more about wine’s globalization, and to publish a revised version of our Global Wine Markets statistical compendium (see citation at bottom of this page). Some of the world’s leading wine economists and historians have contributed to this database, and have drawn on it to examine national wine market developments before, during and in between the 19th century and current waves of globalization. Their initial analyses cover all key wine-producing and wine-consuming countries using a common methodology to explain long-term trends and cycles in national wine production, consumption, and trade. Those analytical narratives are available in 'Wine Globalization: A New Comparative History', edited by Kym Anderson and Vicente Pinilla (Cambridge University Press, January 2018). The grey button below allows downloading the data and files from the ebook by Anderson, K., S.

This database is based on Base pour l’Analyse du Commerce International (BACI) data from CEPII. The source of the BACI data is the United Nations’ Comtrade database, but CEPII performs various operations to improve that dataset. The process followed by CEPII to generate its BACI data is explained in this working paper and, more briefly, in this non-technical summary.

Beverages and groups of beverages

We use BACI data to produce a series of summary statistics and indexes for the following beverages based on their 6-digit Harmonised System (HS) codes:

200960   Grape juice or must not fermented or spirited

220110   Mineral and aerated waters not sweetened or flavoured

220190   Ice, snow and potable water not sweetened or flavoured

220210   Beverage waters, sweetened or flavoured

220300   Beer: made from malt

220410   Wine: sparkling

220421   Wine: still, in containers holding 2 litres or less

220429   Wine: still, in containers holding more than 2 litres

220430   Grape must: n.e.s. in heading no. 2009, n.e.s. in item no. 2204.2

220510   Vermouth and other wine of fresh grapes, flavoured with plants or aromatic substances, in containers holding 2 litres or less

220590   Vermouth and other wine of fresh grapes, flavoured with plants or aromatic substances, in containers holding more than 2 litres

220600   Beverages, fermented: (eg cider, perry, mead)

All countries are part of the world as a whole (1WORLD). There are also data for countries that belong to the European Union members as of April 2024 (2EU27) and eight important New World wine exporters (2NW8). All countries are classified as either Western European key wine net exporters (3WEX), other Western European mainly wine net importers (3WEM), Eastern Europe and Central Asia (3ECA), Australia and New Zealand (3ANZ), United States and Canada (3USC), Latin America and Caribbean (3LAC), Africa and Middle East (3AME), Asia (NE, SE, and South) and Pacific Islands (3APA), other Western European wine net importers (4OWEM), other Eastern Europe and Central Asia (4OECA), other Africa and Middle East (4OAME), other Asia and Pacific Islands (4OAPA). The groups of countries that start with 4 are ‘residual’ groups of countries that are of minor importance in global wine markets.

Navigation

This database encompasses 13 Excel files with data on various statistics and indexes. Some of these files are quite large (up to 189 MB) and include numerous sheets. Files smaller than 20 MB can be downloaded directly by clicking on the blue buttons, while files larger than 20 MB can be downloaded from Box by clicking on the grey buttons. For navigating from one sheet to another we suggest right-clicking on the sheet navigation arrows (the small triangles to the left of the sheet tabs at the button) to see a list of all sheets and selecting the desired one.

Exports

The data on exports from one country or group of countries (i_iso3 or i_name) to another country or group of countries (j_iso3 or j_name) can be downloaded by clicking on the grey buttons below. The last six columns in each sheet provide 5-year averages.

Net imports

The data on net imports by quantity and value can be downloaded by clicking on the grey button below. Net imports refer to the difference between total imports and total exports. If net imports are positive, it means that a country or group of countries imports more than it exports (to another country or group of countries), indicating a trade deficit in that beverage. If net imports are negative, it means that a country or group of countries exports more than it imports (to another country or group of countries), indicating a trade surplus in that beverage.

Net imports

Bilateral trade intensity indexes

The bilateral trade intensity indexes by quantity and value can be downloaded by clicking on the grey button below. For any beverage in a given year, the formula for the bilateral trade intensity index is given by: BTI = [exports_ij/exports_i]/[imports_j/(imports - imports_i)], where i is the exporter country or group of countries and j is the importer country or group of countries.

Bilateral trade intensity indexes

Trade specialisation indexes

The trade specialisation indexes by quantity and value for each country and group of countries can be downloaded by clicking on the blue button below. For any beverage in a given year, the formula for the trade specialisation index for a country or group of countries is given by: TSI = (exports - imports)/(exports + imports), meaning that this index ranges between -1 and 1. Net importers have a negative TSI, while the TSI for net exporters is positive.

Trade specialisation indexes

Indexes of revealed comparative advantage

The indexes of revealed comparative advantage by quantity and value for each country and group of countries can be downloaded by clicking on the blue button below. For any beverage k in a given year, the formula for the index of revealed comparative advantage for a country or group of countries is given by: RCA = (exports_ki/exports_i)/(exports_k/exports), where i is the exporter country or group of countries. A country with a RCA higher than 1 has a revealed comparative advantage in exporting beverage k. This indicates that the country exports a higher proportion of beverage k relative to its total exports compared to the global average.

Indexes of revealed comparative advantage

Intra-industry trade indexes

The intra-industry trade indexes by quantity and value for each country and group of countries can be downloaded by clicking on the blue button below. For any beverage in a given year, the formula for the intra-industry trade index for a country or group of countries is given by: IIT = 1 - abs(exports - imports)/(exports + imports), where abs denotes the absolute value. This index takes values between 0 and 1; the closer to 1, the more intra-industry trade.

Intra-industry trade indexes

Trade concentration index

The trade concentration indexes by quantity and value for each country and group of countries can be downloaded by clicking on the blue button below. Our novel trade concentration index has a straightforward interpretation, answering the following question: If two units (tons or USD) of beverage exported from one country (or group of countries) to another country (or group of countries) were randomly selected, what is the probability (in percentage terms) that those two units of that beverage are exported to the same country? The higher the probability, the more concentrated the exports of that beverage are for that country or group of countries.

Since the 1950s, the consumption of alcoholic beverages has changed very considerably around the world. In high-income countries, consumers tended to drink mostly what could be best produced domestically (spirits in the cold north, wine in temperate climates, and beer in many countries including those too cold for winegrapes yet warm enough to grow malting barley). With increasing globalization and interactions between cultures, however, countries are converging in their beverage consumption patterns. In emerging economies, meanwhile, much of their alcohol was produced at home and not recorded, but that too is changing with their urbanization and income growth.

          This new database covers all countries of the world, introduces two new summary indicators to capture the extent of convergence in national alcohol consumption levels and in their mix of beverages, and distinguishes countries according to whether their alcoholic focus was on wine, beer or spirits in the early 1960s as well as their geographic region and their real per capita income. For recent decades expenditure data are included and we compare alcohol with soft drink retail expenditure, and show what difference it makes when WHO estimates of unrecorded alcohol volumes are included as part of total alcohol consumption.

The vigneron’s choice of winegrape varieties to grow depends on many things, both physical (terroir) and economic. Both opportunities and competitive challenges abound for producers seeking to attract the attention of consumers by differentiating their product, or alternatively by emulating the most successful producers. One strategy for producers to attract consumer attention has been to display names of (especially popular) grape varieties on wine bottle labels. Its success, particularly for popular lower-priced New World wines, has led to regulators in the European Union acceding to some degree to demands for a freeing up of labelling laws so as to allow such labelling there. As well, producers in the New World are increasingly realizing the marketing value of going beyond country of origin to regional labelling as another form of product differentiation – something that has long been practiced by Europe’s traditional producers. Meanwhile, producers everywhere are well aware of the impact climate changes (higher temperatures, more extreme weather events, …) are having on the quality their winegrapes and on vineyard yields and production costs. Adaptation strategies include switching to warmer-climate or more-resilient grape varieties, and re-locating to a region at a higher latitude or elevation to retain the current mix of grape varieties in their portfolio. Especially in the New World, where regions are still trying to identify their varietal comparative advantages and where regulations do not restrict varietal choice, winegrowers are continually on the lookout for attractive alternative varieties that do well in climates similar to what they expect theirs to become in the decades ahead.

          To see how those various forces are affecting plantings in Australia, and to be able to analyze those trends, we have put together a time series of winegrape data for Australia and its various wine regions. As of September 2023 we have compiled data for 23 vintages from 2001 to 2023 for 75 wine regions of Australia. The Excel file also includes national varietal data going back to 1956.

Over the two decades each side of the new millennium, the Australian wine industry went through a remarkable period of export-oriented growth. The vineyard area in Australia trebled over the 20 vintages to 2008. Today, nearly two-thirds of Australia's production is exported and production itself increased nearly four-fold. Moreover, the average price of wine exports more than trebled in nominal terms over that period. Meanwhile, domestic consumption of wine has become more focused on higher-quality offerings. This export-led growth and quality upgrading, assisted by marketing efforts of wineries as well as ‘Brand Australia' generic promotion abroad, has added remarkable wealth and vitality to many rural regions of Australia and it has also altered the characteristics of production.

This database for California has been produced using an adapted version of the code used to produce the ‘Australian Winegrape Vine Area, Production and Price Database, by Region and Variety, 1956 to 2023’ database and the ‘Argentinian Winegrape Vine Area, Production and Price Database, by Region and Variety, 2002 to 2022’ database. It is based on data provided by Professor Julian Alston and data extracted from Professor Aaron Smith’s website, which in turn were based on official data published by the USDA.

This database includes two Excel files that can be downloaded by clicking on the blue buttons below. The first file includes raisin and table grapes, while the second one is confined to winegrapes. For navigating from one sheet to another we suggest right-clicking on the sheet navigation arrows (the small triangles to the left of the sheet tabs at the button) to see a list of all sheets and selecting the desired one.

Data for California with raisin and table grapes

Data for California without raisin and table grapes

For a detailed description of the indexes, see this analogous database for Australia. Some important considerations on this data for California are:

• The areas are bearing areas.
• Production and production-related indicators are in metric tons.
• Price calculations are based on the varieties in this database — they exclude others.
• Price and price-related indicators are current.
• Pinot Gris is included in white varieties rather than grey.
• Colour does not include raisin or table — same as country.
• Country of origin does not include other red or white, nor raisin/table grapes.
• USDA provides information for more varieties.
