Lower over the period
Germany Wine Production per Capita moved from 6.97 Kilogram in 2015 to 5.58 Kilogram in 2023 (−19.8%), an average of −2.7% a year. The series high was 7.60 Kilogram in 2018 and the low 5.24 Kilogram in 2019.
What Germany Wine Production per Capita shows
Germany Wine Production per Capita was 5.58 Kilogram in 2023, down 2.7% on 2022. Germany’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population from 2015 through 2023. The indicator provides a population-adjusted measure of production and helps identify changes in wine production intensity over the selected period.
A 31% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2018) and low (2019) is 2.36 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −31% in 2019.
Ranks 13 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, Germany ranks 13 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so Germany 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.
The supplied data show that Germany recorded 6.97 kilograms per capita in 2015, followed by 6.99 kilograms in 2016. Production per capita increased to 7.54 kilograms in 2017 and 7.60 kilograms in 2018 before declining to 5.24 kilograms in 2019. It recovered to 5.65 kilograms in 2020 and then declined slightly to 5.41 kilograms in 2021. The indicator increased to 5.74 kilograms in 2022 before reaching 5.58 kilograms in 2023.
Germany’s indicator is classified under Agriculture and Agriculture Produce because wine production is linked to agricultural production, particularly grape cultivation and harvesting. The per-capita measure adjusts wine output for population size and provides a useful metric for assessing production intensity and comparing trends across countries.
Germany has a long-established wine industry supported by vineyards located in several wine-growing regions. Wine production can vary from year to year due to weather conditions, grape yields, vineyard productivity, harvest quality, and agricultural management practices. These factors can influence total output and consequently affect production per capita.
Over 2015–2023, German wine production per capita reached its highest level of 7.60 kilograms in 2018. The lowest value was 5.24 kilograms in 2019. Following the sharp decline after 2018, production per capita remained within a narrower range from 2020 onward, reaching 5.58 kilograms in 2023. The figures indicate that German wine production relative to population was lower in 2023 than in the first years of the period, while the later years showed comparatively moderate fluctuations.
