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, Portugal recorded 67.93 kilograms per capita in 2015, increasing slightly to 68.48 kilograms in 2016. Production per capita declined to 63.48 kilograms in 2017 and then fell further to 56.98 kilograms in 2018. The indicator recovered to 61.38 kilograms in 2019 and 60.43 kilograms in 2020 before increasing significantly to 69.15 kilograms in 2021. It declined to 63.93 kilograms in 2022 and then increased to 70.68 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator belongs to the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production is derived from agricultural activity, especially grape cultivation and vineyard production. The per-capita measurement helps evaluate wine production relative to population and provides a consistent basis for assessing changes across years.
Portugal has a long-established wine-producing sector supported by vineyards and diverse wine-growing regions. Production levels can be affected by weather conditions, grape yields, vineyard productivity, harvesting conditions, and agricultural practices. These factors contribute to fluctuations in annual wine production.
The highest value in the supplied series occurred in 2023 at 70.68 kilograms per capita, while the lowest was 56.98 kilograms in 2018. Overall, Portugal experienced fluctuations during 2015–2023 but ended the period with production per capita above its 2015 level. The data highlight the importance of monitoring annual agricultural conditions and production changes when assessing Portugal’s wine output relative to its population.
