World Wine Crisis Report (Six): Australia's Wine Glut--Austraila has a surplus on 100 million cases of wine

Australia's wine glut

From a post on The Curious Capitalist

Posted by Justin Fox Wednesday, November 11, 2009 at 9:54 pm

The Wine Economist reports that Australia's overproduction of wine has reached a crisis point:


Australia has an accumulated surplus of 100 million cases of wine that will double in the next two years if current trends continue, according to the report. The annual surplus is huge – equal to all UK export sales and there is no clear prospect of finding additional demand, either domestic or foreign, to fill this gap. ...


In fact, wine exports have fallen by 8 million cases or more than 20 percent in the last two years, according to the statement, with the largest declines in the high value wines that Aussie winemakers hoped would be their future.


Inexpensive and bulk wine sales have grown, but at prices that are unsustainably low.

". . .That we were the first to introduce American readers to Ferran Adrià in 1997 and have ever since continued to bring you a blow-by-blow narrative of Spain's riveting ferment is chiefly due to our Spanish correspondent, Gerry "Mr. Spain" Dawes, the messianic wine and food journalist raised in Southern Illinois and possessor of a self-accumulated doctorate in the Spanish table. Gerry once again brings us up to the very minute. . ." - - Michael & Ariane Batterberry, Editor-in-Chief/Publisher and Founding Editor/Publisher, Food Arts, October 2009.
