Lower over the period
France Wine Production per Capita moved from 73.72 Kilogram in 2015 to 71.68 Kilogram in 2023 (−2.8%), an average of −0.3% a year. The series high was 74.62 Kilogram in 2018 and the low 55.71 Kilogram in 2017.
What France Wine Production per Capita shows
France Wine Production per Capita was 71.68 Kilogram in 2023, up 3.2% on 2022. France’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population between 2015 and 2023. This measure provides a population-adjusted view of production and supports the assessment of changes in wine production intensity over time.
A 25.3% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2018) and low (2017) is 18.91 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +33.9% in 2018.
Ranks 1 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, France ranks 1 for 2023. The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so France is above 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.
According to the supplied data, France recorded 73.72 kilograms per capita in 2015, followed by 69.21 kilograms in 2016. Production per capita declined to 55.71 kilograms in 2017 before increasing significantly to 74.62 kilograms in 2018. The indicator then decreased to 64.54 kilograms in 2019 and increased to 71.15 kilograms in 2020. It fell to 57.26 kilograms in 2021 before recovering to 69.49 kilograms in 2022 and 71.68 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator is classified under Agriculture and Agriculture Produce because wine production is directly connected to agricultural activity, particularly grape cultivation. Measuring wine production per capita accounts for population size and provides a standardized measure for tracking domestic production intensity.
France is one of the world's established wine-producing countries, with extensive vineyard areas and a diversified wine industry. Annual production can fluctuate due to grape harvest conditions, weather patterns, vineyard yields, disease pressures, and agricultural practices. Such variations are reflected in changes in wine production per capita.
The highest value in the supplied French series was 74.62 kilograms per capita in 2018, while the lowest was 55.71 kilograms in 2017. Despite fluctuations, the indicator recovered toward the end of the period, reaching 71.68 kilograms in 2023. This value was close to the 2015 level of 73.72 kilograms. Overall, the data demonstrate considerable year-to-year variation while indicating that France maintained a high level of wine production relative to population throughout the 2015–2023 period
