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, global wine production per capita was 3.84 kilograms in 2015. It declined to 3.66 kilograms in 2016 and fell further to 3.33 kilograms in 2017. Production per capita then increased significantly to 3.82 kilograms in 2018 before declining to 3.47 kilograms in 2019. The indicator remained relatively stable at 3.44 kilograms in 2020, followed by a decline to 3.35 kilograms in 2021. Global wine production per capita recovered slightly to 3.45 kilograms in 2022 before reaching 3.02 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator is classified under the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production is associated with agricultural activities, particularly grape cultivation, vineyard management, harvesting, and wine production. The per-capita measurement accounts for global population size and enables meaningful comparisons of wine production intensity across years.
The dataset covers global wine production and provides a historical time series for the 2015–2023 period. Changes in global production per capita can be influenced by grape yields, vineyard area, climatic conditions, weather-related disruptions, harvest conditions, agricultural practices, and variations in production across major wine-producing regions.
The highest global value in the supplied series was 3.84 kilograms per capita in 2015, while the lowest was 3.02 kilograms in 2023. This represents an approximately 21.4% decline over the period. The 2018 value of 3.82 kilograms also indicates a temporary recovery before production per capita resumed a downward trend. Overall, global wine production per capita fluctuated considerably between 2015 and 2023 but ended substantially below its 2015 level, indicating a decline in wine production relative to global population.
