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 series high was 1.57 Kilogram in 2018 and the low 1.24 Kilogram in 2023. The gap between the series high (2018) and low (2023) is 0.332 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −15.3% in 2023. Among the 25 countries in this dataset, China ranks 16 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so China is below it.
The indicator is classified under the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production is associated with agricultural activity, particularly grape cultivation and vineyard output. Measuring production per capita accounts for population size and provides a consistent basis for evaluating changes in production intensity.
China has developed a wine-producing sector supported by vineyards and agricultural production in suitable regions. Wine production can be influenced by grape yields, weather conditions, vineyard productivity, harvesting conditions, production capacity, and agricultural practices. These factors can contribute to annual changes in wine production relative to population.
During 2015–2023, China’s highest reported wine production per capita was 1.57 kilograms, while the lowest was 1.24 kilograms in 2023. The 2023 value was below the 2015 level of 1.53 kilograms, indicating an overall decline over the period despite the recovery from 2022. The data provide useful information for assessing changes in China’s domestic wine production intensity and agricultural output relative to its large population.
