Wine export sales continue to surge as Asia drives growth

A new report shows the higher priced end of the wine market is continuing to grow, especially in China. The Wine Australia Export Report shows that for the 12 months to June 2016, the value of wine exports grew by 11 per cent to $2.11 billion, and volumes were up by half a per cent to 728 million litres. Expensive bottles of wine, especially those above $10 a litre, have driven the rise in total export values.
