Higher over the period
Romania Wine Production per Capita moved from 18.35 Kilogram in 2015 to 19.35 Kilogram in 2023 (+5.5%), an average of +0.7% a year. The series high was 24.00 Kilogram in 2022 and the low 6.42 Kilogram in 2018.
What Romania Wine Production per Capita shows
Romania Wine Production per Capita was 19.35 Kilogram in 2023, down 19.4% on 2022. Romania’s wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population from 2015 to 2023. This population-adjusted metric provides insight into changes in production intensity and enables wine production to be assessed consistently across the period.
A 73.3% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2022) and low (2018) is 17.58 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was +204.3% in 2019.
Ranks 10 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, Romania ranks 10 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so Romania 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 Romania recorded 18.35 kilograms per capita in 2015, declining to 16.69 kilograms in 2016. Production per capita then increased to 21.86 kilograms in 2017 before falling sharply to 6.42 kilograms in 2018. The indicator recovered strongly to 19.53 kilograms in 2019 and 19.64 kilograms in 2020. It increased further to 23.38 kilograms in 2021 and 24.00 kilograms in 2022 before declining to 19.35 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator is classified under Agriculture and Agriculture Produce because wine production is associated with agricultural output, particularly grape cultivation, harvesting, and vineyard productivity. Measuring production per capita adjusts for population size and provides a useful measure for examining production intensity.
Romania has an established wine sector supported by vineyard cultivation and wine-producing regions. Wine production can experience significant annual fluctuations due to weather conditions, grape yields, harvest quality, vineyard productivity, and other agricultural factors.
The highest value during 2015–2023 was 24.00 kilograms per capita in 2022, while the lowest was 6.42 kilograms in 2018. The sharp variation between 2017 and 2018 highlights the sensitivity of wine production to annual agricultural conditions. By 2023, production per capita had recovered to 19.35 kilograms, remaining above the 2015 level. Overall, the data demonstrate considerable variability while showing stronger production per capita in the later years compared with the beginning of the period.
