Falling to a series low
Italy Wine Production per Capita moved from 80.47 Kilogram in 2015 to 71.43 Kilogram in 2023 (−11.2%), an average of −1.5% a year. The series high was 90.58 Kilogram in 2022 and the low 71.43 Kilogram in 2023.
What Italy Wine Production per Capita shows
Italy Wine Production per Capita was 71.43 Kilogram in 2023, down 21.1% on 2022. Italy’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population between 2015 and 2023. This metric provides a population-adjusted assessment of wine production and helps identify changes in production intensity across the period.
A 21.1% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2022) and low (2023) is 19.16 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +23.8% in 2018.
Ranks 2 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, Italy ranks 2 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Portugal (70.68 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so Italy 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 Italy recorded 80.47 kilograms per capita in 2015, increasing to 85.35 kilograms in 2016. Production per capita declined to 72.58 kilograms in 2017 before rising to 89.83 kilograms in 2018. The indicator then decreased to 82.92 kilograms in 2019 and increased to 86.65 kilograms in 2020. It remained relatively high at 85.19 kilograms in 2021 and reached 90.58 kilograms in 2022 before falling to 71.43 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator falls under the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production originates from agricultural production, particularly grape cultivation. A per-capita measure adjusts total production for population size and provides a standardized indicator for evaluating production intensity.
Italy has a well-established wine-producing industry supported by extensive vineyards and diverse grape-growing regions. Production can vary significantly between years because of weather conditions, harvest quality, grape yields, vineyard productivity, and agricultural management practices.
The highest value in the supplied period was 90.58 kilograms per capita in 2022, while the lowest was 71.43 kilograms in 2023. The series shows substantial fluctuations, with particularly high production per capita during 2018 and 2022. Despite the decline in 2023, Italy’s wine production per capita remained relatively high compared with many countries. The data provide a useful basis for evaluating the scale and variation of Italy’s wine production relative to population and understanding changes in agricultural production intensity over the 2015–2023 period.
