30.5% to 713,603 tonnes.

There were 1,370,690 tonnes of grapes harvested for winemaking, a decrease of 23.1%

on the 1,781,668 tonnes harvested in 2006. The production of grapes for drying had a

further decrease on last year of 31.2% to 81,022 tonnes and the table and other grapes

harvested (78,727 tonnes) had a less dramatic decrease of 3.7%.

GR A P E PR O D U C T I O N

There were 6,734 vineyards that irrigated in 2007. This was 83.7% of the total number of

vineyards in Australia (8,041). The area of grapevines irrigated was 157,401 hectares, with

South Australia (68,081 hectares) accounting for 43.3%. New South Wales (40,093

hectares) and Victoria (34,262 hectares) collectively had 47.2% of the area of grapevines

irrigated nationally. The average usage of water was 3.4 megalitres per hectare. Victoria

averaged 4.8 megalitres per hectare, New South Wales 4.0 megalitres per hectare and

South Australia 2.7 megalitres per hectare.

The most common watering method continues to be drip or micro spray with 123,497

hectares, or 78.5% of the total area irrigated. There were 58,034 hectares of vineyard land

watered by this method in South Australia.

Spray excluding micro spray was the second most utilised method with 15.7% of irrigated

vineyards (24,639 hectares). In Victoria, 30.3% (10,386 hectares) of all area irrigated was

watered by spray excluding micro spray. The third most common method of watering

was furrow or flood (12,492 hectares) with New South Wales accounting for 8,288

hectares, or 20.7% of their total area irrigated.

Surface water from either state owned or private irrigation schemes was the most

common source of water used by vineyards in Australia. There were 93,739 hectares

drawing from this source. South Australia (31,780 hectares), New South Wales (30,833

hectares) and Victoria (27,580 hectares) collectively have 96.2% of the vineyard land

BEVERAGE WINE PRODUCTION

There were 955.0 million litres of beverage wine produced by winemakers that crushed

more than 400 tonnes of grapes, or had domestic sales of more than 250,000 litres. This

beverage wine production figure was 455.5 million litres (32.3%) less than the total for

2005-06.

Production of unfortified wine accounted for 99.2% of the total beverage wine produced

by these winemakers. Red/rosé wine made up 472.3 million litres (49.5%) of the

beverage wine produced in 2006-07. This was a decrease of 303.7 million litres (39.2%)

on the Red/rosé wine produced in 2005-06. White wine accounted for 474.7 million litres,

a fall of 147.1 million litres (23.7%) on the previous year.

Wales/Australian Capital Territory (NSW/ACT) had 20.5% of the total number of locations

with 34.9% of the total wine crush, followed by Victoria (22.3% of all locations and 16.5%

of all grapes crushed) and Western Australia (20.3% of locations and 4.9% of the grape

crush).

The 344 winemaking businesses, in terms of crush capacity, are diverse in size. There

were 199 businesses that each crushed from 50 to 400 tonnes of grapes, producing a

combined crush of 32,869 tonnes. Of these smaller businesses, the 109 smallest

winemakers accounted for only 0.7% of all grapes crushed and averaged 92 tonnes each.

The 145 winemaking businesses that each crushed more than 400 tonnes of grapes

crushed a total of 1,364,481 tonnes (97.6% of the national total) of grapes. There were 13

winemakers that crushed more than 20,000 tonnes each, accounting for a total of

1,030,324 tonnes of grapes or 73.7% of the total crush. These 13 businesses averaged

79,256 tonnes each.

At the latest Census of Population and Housing (2006) 11,003 people, nationally, stated

that the Grape-growing industry was their primary industry of employment. A further

16,956 people stated that Wine manufacturing was their primary industry of

employment. This excludes casual workers such as grape pickers and other seasonal

workers not working in those industries in the week prior to the Census. It also excludes

people who worked in wine and grape production as a second job.

EM P L O Y M E N T

An alternative view of the wine manufacturing and grape-growingindustries is available from the Census of Population and Housing, whichis conducted every five years. The Census is designed to measure thenumber of people in Australia on Census Night with their keycharacteristics.


F E A T U R E A R T I C L E 1

Post-secondary educational qualifications were less common among workers in both the

grape-growing and wine manufacturing industries than the average across all industries.

At the time of the 2006 Census 9.8% of people employed in the Grape-growing industry

had a degree or higher compared with 19.7% in wine manufacturing and 22.1% for all

industries.

INVENTORIES OF AUSTRAL IAN BEVERAGE WINE, Winemakers wi th acrush greate r than 400 tonnes —2006– 07

The following table shows the total inventory figure, as collected from all winemakers

that crushed more than 400 tonnes of grapes annually.

There were 1866.8 million litres of beverage wine held by winemakers at 30 June 2007.

The volume of white table wine held was 621.6 million litres. White table wine made up

33.3% of the total beverage wine stock this year.

The inventory figure for red/rosé table wine held by winemakers was 1001.9 million litres

or 53.7% of the total beverage wine stock.

The annual inventory data presented in this publication are sourced from the Inventories

of Australian Wine and Brandy survey which includes all winemakers who have

domestic wine sales in excess of 250,000 litres. After consultation with wine industry

bodies, the coverage for the annual inventory figure was expanded from just a sales basis

to include all winemakers who crush more than 400 tonnes annually.

For this purpose inventory questions were included in last year's Wine and Spirit

Production (2005-06) survey and again this year (2006-07). This survey is sent to those

winemakers that do not have sales greater than 250,000 litres, but still had a grape crush

greater than 400 tonnes. The added questions ask for detail on the inventories held of

beverage wine, including white table wine, red/rosé table wine and other wine products.

In order to lessen the burden of filling out the survey form, breakdowns were not asked

for the other wine categories, i.e. sparkling, fortified etc.

5 Viticultural statistics relate to the year in which the harvest occurred and are derived

from information obtained in a collection of all known growers.

6 Prior to the 1999 collection, an exercise was undertaken to increase the number of

known growers included in the collection. The improved coverage, of over

1,000 growers, means that the data presented for 1999 and later years are not directly

comparable with data for previous years.

7 The scope of the 2007 collection is based on establishments undertaking vineyards

activity.

8 Tasmanian data are collected in partnership with the Department of Primary

Industries and Water. The scope of the collected data is the same as for other states.

9 Viticultural statistics are presented on an Australian Geographical Indications basis in

this issue. The Geographical Indications are official descriptions of Australian wine zones,

regions and sub-regions which are defined in the Australian Wine and Brandy

Corporation Act, 1980. The zones and regions listed in the following table were provided

to the ABS by the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation. The list includes those

regions which had been determined at the time of the Vineyards 2007 Survey.

10 For more detail on Australian Geographical Indications including maps of the

zones and regions contact the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation web site

1 This publication presents final estimates from the ABS collections: Inventories of

Australian Wine and Brandy, 2006–07; Wine and Spirit Production, 2006–07; Wine

Statistics, 2006–07 and Vineyards, 2007. Not all data from these collections are published

here. Some further data are available for a charge, on application to the ABS.

2 This publication is a summary of statistics on grape and wine production and related

activities collected by the ABS and from other sources. Some of the data used in this

publication were obtained from various ABS collections for which publications with

appropriate Explanatory Notes are already available. The bibliography contains a list of

these publications. However, much of the data are only available in this publication and

the following notes are provided to assist users.

3 The Viticulture tables replace the previous publication Viticulture, Australia

(cat. no. 7310.0) and contain information on area of vines and production of red and

white grapes for the 2007 season. The continuing collection of varietal data is supported

by Australia's grape-growers and winemakers and the Australian government through the

Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation.

4 Differences exist between the grape production intended for winemaking reported

by grape growers in the viticulture collection and the quantity of fresh grapes crushed by

winemakers reported in the Wine and Spirit Production Collection. Differences in the

collection methodologies, as outlined below, mean some difference should always be

apparent between the series.

AUSTRAL IAN GEOGRAPHICAL INDICAT IONS


E X P L A N A T O R Y N O T E S continued

16 The index for 'Wine grapes' is from the Producer Price Index (PPI) for materials

used in manufacturing industries (specifically, wine grapes used in ANZSIC Subdivision

21). The valuation basis for PPI indexes is purchasers' prices, defined as the amount paid

by the purchaser inclusive of any non-deductible taxes on products and transport and

trade margins. The 'Wine grapes' index is calculated by using the base weighted

movement in prices for each of the grape varieties included in the survey. The index is

designed to exclude the impact caused by a change in the mix of varieties. Fixed

quantity weights are used to ensure that the index measures changes in prices only.

Refer Producer Price Indexes, Australia (cat. no. 6427.0), unpublished data. The index

for 'Wine grapes' is the comparison of the respective June quarter indexes. All other

series represented in Table 32 are the average annual movements.

17 The Sales by manufacturers index consists of three components: 'Domestic'

represents the price manufacturers receive for wines manufactured for domestic

consumption; 'Export' represents the price manufacturers receive for wines that are

exported and are priced on a 'free on board' (f.o.b.) basis at the main Australian ports of

export; and, 'Total wine' which represents the combined index of Domestic and Export.

11 Winemakers who crush more than 400 tonnes of grapes are included in the Wine

and Spirit Production Survey. Wine production data are collected from these winemakers

on a winery (location) basis to allow for state and regional data output. The grapes

crushed by these wineries includes grapes owned by others and crushed on a

commission or contract basis, often for wine producers who do not have their own

crushing facilities. These wineries account for approximately 98% of total crushings by all

winemakers crushing 50 or more tonnes of fresh grapes. Limited information on the

quantity of grapes crushed and domestic wine sales are also obtained from wineries

crushing between 50 and 400 tonnes. These data are collected on a winery (location)

basis in the Wine Statistics Survey. The main purpose for this supplementary collection is

to establish the scope and coverage of both the main production collection and the

monthly wine sales collection.

12 Winemakers who crush more than 400 tonnes of grapes and have domestic wine

sales of 250,000 litres or more in either of the two previous years are included in the

Inventories of Australian Wine and Brandy Survey. These details on inventories of

Australian beverage wine by wine type are collected at 30 June. For those winemakers

that have sales less than 250,000 litres and have a grape crush of 400 tonnes or more, a

freestanding set of inventory questions have been included in the Wine and Spirit

Production Survey.

13 All inventories data are collected on an Australia-wide basis only and state figures

are therefore not available. Inventories data collected from 1996 include all

Australian-produced wines owned by these winemakers and held anywhere in Australia.

In years previous to 1996, inventories included only those Australian-produced wines

held by winemakers on any of their own premises, regardless of ownership. This change

in the measurement of inventories means that data for 1996 and later are not directly

comparable with earlier years.

14 The number of winemakers who fall within the scope of the wine inventories

collection may vary from year to year as sales vary and individual wineries are included in,

or excluded from, the wine sales collection. It is possible that inventories data may vary

slightly each year as new wineries, with either large or small inventories, come into the

scope of the collection. In particular, the published (i.e. closing) inventories figures for

any one year may not equate with the opening inventories for the following year.

15 The wine content of products consisting of a mixture of wine and fruit juice,

commonly known as ‘coolers’, is included in the appropriate wine category of the wine

from which it is made, which is generally table wine.
