Lower over the period
U.S. Wine Production per Capita moved from 10.02 Kilogram in 2015 to 6.06 Kilogram in 2023 (−39.5%), an average of −6.1% a year. The series high was 10.02 Kilogram in 2015 and the low 5.91 Kilogram in 2020.
What U.S. Wine Production per Capita shows
U.S. Wine Production per Capita was 6.06 Kilogram in 2023, down 0.2% on 2022. The U.S. wine production per capita indicator measures the amount of wine produced relative to the country’s population between 2015 and 2023. It provides insight into the scale and development of domestic wine production while accounting for population size.
A 41% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2015) and low (2020) is 4.11 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −24.1% in 2020.
Ranks 12 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, U.S. ranks 12 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so U.S. 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.
According to the data, U.S. wine production per capita was 10.02 kilograms in 2015, increasing to 8.27 kilograms in 2016 before declining to 6.53 kilograms in 2017. Production per capita recovered to 7.12 kilograms in 2018 and 7.79 kilograms in 2019, followed by a decline to 5.91 kilograms in 2020. It then increased slightly to 6.03 kilograms in 2021 and 6.08 kilograms in 2022 before reaching 6.06 kilograms in 2023.
The indicator is part of the Agriculture domain and the Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production is linked to agricultural output and grape production. Measuring production on a per-capita basis allows comparisons across countries with different population sizes and provides a standardized view of production intensity.
The U.S. has a significant wine-producing industry supported by established vineyards, commercial wineries, and diverse grape-growing regions. Changes in annual wine production per capita can reflect variations in grape harvests, vineyard productivity, weather conditions, production decisions, and population changes.
Between 2015 and 2023, the U.S. indicator shows an overall downward movement despite some recovery during 2018–2019 and modest stabilization after 2020. The highest recorded value in the provided period was 10.02 kilograms per capita in 2015, while the lowest was 5.91 kilograms in 2020. The 2023 value of 6.06 kilograms indicates that production remained below the levels recorded during the first half of the period. These figures provide useful context for assessing long-term trends in U.S. wine production relative to population.
