Lower over the period
UK Wine Production per Capita moved from 0.00674 Kilogram in 2015 to 0.00548 Kilogram in 2023 (−18.7%), an average of −2.6% a year. The series high was 0.00809 Kilogram in 2020 and the low 0.00523 Kilogram in 2021.
What UK Wine Production per Capita shows
UK Wine Production per Capita was 0.00548 Kilogram in 2023, down 8.4% on 2022. The UK wine production per capita indicator measures domestic wine production relative to the country’s population between 2015 and 2023. This population-adjusted measure helps provide a consistent assessment of wine production intensity over time.
A 35.4% peak-to-trough swing
The gap between the series high (2020) and low (2021) is 0.00286 Kilogram. The sharpest single-year move was −35.4% in 2021.
Ranks 25 of 25 countries covered
Among the 25 countries in this dataset, UK ranks 25 for 2023, behind France (71.68 Kilogram) and Italy (71.43 Kilogram). The global figure for 2023 is 3.02 Kilogram, so UK 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.
According to the supplied data, UK wine production per capita was 6.74 grams in 2015, increasing to 7.08 grams in 2016 and 7.05 grams in 2017. The indicator remained broadly stable at 7.03 grams in 2018 before rising to 7.24 grams in 2019. It increased further to 8.09 grams in 2020, representing the highest value in the provided series. Production per capita then declined to 5.23 grams in 2021, recovered to 5.98 grams in 2022, and decreased again to 5.48 grams in 2023.
The indicator is categorized under the Agriculture domain and Agriculture Produce subdomain because wine production is associated with agricultural output, particularly grape cultivation and harvesting. The per-capita approach accounts for population size and allows the production level to be examined independently of changes in total population.
The UK wine sector has developed alongside increasing domestic vineyard activity and wine production. Annual production can be influenced by grape yields, weather conditions, vineyard area, harvesting conditions, and production efficiency. Such factors can lead to substantial year-to-year changes in output.
During 2015–2023, UK wine production per capita showed a generally stable pattern through 2019, followed by a notable increase in 2020 and a sharp reduction in 2021. The 2023 value of 5.48 grams remained below both the 2015 level and the 2020 peak. The data therefore highlight significant variation in UK wine production relative to population during the period and provide a useful basis for understanding changes in domestic agricultural production and wine-sector output.
