Falling to a series low
Canada Wine Production per Capita moved from 1.66 Kilogram in 2015 to 1.60 Kilogram in 2023 (−4%), an average of −0.5% a year. The series high was 1.91 Kilogram in 2017 and the low 1.60 Kilogram in 2023.
What Canada Wine Production per Capita shows
Canada Wine Production per Capita was 1.60 Kilogram in 2023, down 1.6% on 2022. Canada’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population from 2015 to 2023. This metric provides a population-adjusted view of wine production and helps assess changes in production intensity over time.
A 16.6% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2017) and low (2023) is 0.317 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +9.1% in 2017.
Ranks 14 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, Canada ranks 14 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so Canada is below it.

Data definition
Inclusions and exclusions
Wine Production per Capita — Wine production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wine produced divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level wine production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of wine production relative to population size, helping assess production intensity, agricultural output, and changes in wine production across countries.
The data includes annual wine production volumes converted into per capita values using national population estimates. It covers wine produced from grapes and related agricultural production included in global food production statistics. Our World in Data compiles the indicator using data from the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), providing historical time-series information for countries and regions. The indicator includes country-level wine production measurements and supports comparisons of wine production performance across geographic areas and different years. Values may be presented in grams or kilograms per person depending on the country's reported production level and the dataset's unit conversion.
The data excludes wine consumption, imports, exports, inventories, prices, sales, and other trade-related activities. It does not measure per capita wine consumption, dietary or nutritional intake, consumer preferences, or household expenditure on wine. The indicator also does not represent total grape production, vineyard area, grape yield, or overall agricultural productivity, as it specifically measures wine production relative to population. Differences may occur because of revisions to agricultural statistics, population estimates, reporting methodologies, production estimates, and variations in data collection practices between countries.
About this indicator
Wine Production per Capita — Wine production per capita refers to the annual quantity of wine produced divided by the total population of a country, measured in grams or kilograms per person. In Our World in Data, the indicator presents country-level wine production trends over time, with values reported for each year in the selected period. The dataset provides a comparative view of wine production relative to population size, helping assess production intensity, agricultural output, and changes in wine production across countries.
The provided data show that Canadian wine production per capita was 1.66 kilograms in 2015, rising to 1.75 kilograms in 2016 and 1.91 kilograms in 2017. The indicator then declined slightly to 1.88 kilograms in 2018 and 1.84 kilograms in 2019. It continued to decrease to 1.73 kilograms in 2020 and 1.70 kilograms in 2021, followed by 1.62 kilograms in 2022 and 1.60 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator is classified under Agriculture and the Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production originates from agricultural production, particularly grape cultivation. The per-capita measurement adjusts production for population size, making it useful for comparing production levels across different countries and tracking changes within Canada over time.
Canada has a developing wine industry supported by vineyards and wineries concentrated in suitable growing regions. Wine production can vary according to grape availability, climatic conditions, vineyard productivity, harvesting conditions, and changes in the domestic production environment. These factors can contribute to annual fluctuations in production per capita.
During 2015–2023, the Canadian indicator reached its highest value of 1.91 kilograms per capita in 2017. From that peak, production per capita followed a broadly declining trend through 2023, when it reached 1.60 kilograms. The decline indicates that Canada’s wine production relative to population was lower at the end of the period than at the beginning. The data therefore provide a useful basis for examining changes in Canadian wine production intensity and agricultural output over the nine-year period.
