Falling to a series low
Europe Wine Production per Capita moved from 26.20 Kilogram in 2015 to 22.15 Kilogram in 2023 (−15.4%), an average of −2.1% a year. The series high was 27.96 Kilogram in 2018 and the low 22.15 Kilogram in 2023.
What Europe Wine Production per Capita shows
Europe Wine Production per Capita was 22.15 Kilogram in 2023, down 10.9% on 2022. Europe’s wine production per capita indicator measures the annual quantity of wine produced relative to the region’s population between 2015 and 2023. This population-adjusted measure provides a standardized assessment of wine production intensity and helps compare changes in regional production over time.
A 20.8% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2018) and low (2023) is 5.81 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +21.5% in 2018.
France leads the region
Within Europe, France has the highest value in 2023 at 71.68 Kilogram.

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.
According to the supplied data, Europe recorded 26,197.12 grams per capita in 2015. Production per capita increased slightly to 26,491.12 grams in 2016 before declining to 23,011.71 grams in 2017. The indicator then increased significantly to 27,958.83 grams in 2018, followed by a decline to 24,523.17 grams in 2019. Production per capita recovered to 26,407.96 grams in 2020 before declining to 23,147.47 grams in 2021. It increased to 24,850.56 grams in 2022 and then declined to 22,150.25 grams in 2023.
The indicator is classified under the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production originates from agricultural activities, particularly grape cultivation, vineyards, and grape harvesting. The per-capita approach accounts for population size and provides a consistent basis for evaluating wine production intensity across countries and years.
The supplied European dataset includes wine production information for the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Hungary, and Greece, together with an aggregated Europe regional value. Production levels vary considerably among these countries because of differences in vineyard areas, grape yields, climatic conditions, agricultural practices, and wine-producing capacity.
The highest regional value in the supplied series was 27,958.83 grams per capita in 2018, while the lowest was 22,150.25 grams in 2023. The 2023 value was approximately 15.4% lower than the 2015 level. Overall, Europe’s wine production per capita demonstrated year-to-year fluctuations during 2015–2023, with a notable peak in 2018 followed by a general decline toward the end of the period.
