Lower over the period
Japan Wine Production per Capita moved from 0.596 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.386 Kilogram in 2023 (−35.3%), an average of −5.3% a year. The series high was 0.680 Kilogram in 2019 and the low 0.385 Kilogram in 2022.
What Japan Wine Production per Capita shows
Japan Wine Production per Capita was 0.386 Kilogram in 2023, up 0.1% on 2022. Japan’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population from 2015 to 2023. The measure provides a population-adjusted perspective on wine production and helps identify changes in production intensity over the selected period.
A 43.3% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2019) and low (2022) is 0.295 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −38.2% in 2021.
Ranks 18 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, Japan ranks 18 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so Japan is below 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 Japan recorded 596.10 grams per capita in 2015, increasing to 633.47 grams in 2016. Production per capita declined slightly to 618.70 grams in 2017 before increasing to 628.83 grams in 2018 and reaching 679.86 grams in 2019. The indicator then declined to 637.28 grams in 2020, followed by a substantial decrease to 393.65 grams in 2021. It declined further to 385.36 grams in 2022 before remaining almost unchanged at 385.61 grams in 2023.
The indicator falls under Agriculture and Agriculture Produce because wine production originates from agricultural output, particularly grape cultivation and vineyard activity. Expressing production on a per-capita basis accounts for population size and provides a standardized measure for monitoring production trends.
Japan’s wine-producing sector is supported by domestic vineyards and grape cultivation in suitable agricultural regions. Annual production can vary according to grape yields, weather conditions, harvest quality, vineyard productivity, and agricultural practices. Such factors can influence production levels and consequently affect production per capita.
The highest value in the supplied series was 679.86 grams per capita in 2019, while the lowest was 385.36 grams in 2022. The 2023 figure of 385.61 grams remained significantly below the levels observed from 2015 through 2020. Overall, the data show a notable reduction in Japan’s wine production per capita after 2020. The indicator therefore provides useful information for evaluating changes in domestic wine production relative to population and understanding production trends across the 2015–2023 period.
