Wine production decreased last financial year, according to figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). The figures also show exports up and domestic sales steady. In what should be good news for bargain hunters, winemakers are still holding more than half the beverage stock. The 08/09 crush produced 1.2 billion litres of wine, down 5.9% on last year's figure.  Red/rosé wine production was 630 million litres (down 6.8%) and white wine accounted for 542 million litres (down 4.5%). Exports of Australian-produced wine rose 5.2% (to 752 million litres) and domestic sales went up slightly to 430 million litres. A third of all winemaking locations were in South Australia, accounting for 43% of the national wine grape crush. The 13 largest winemakers crushed a total of 1.3 million tonnes of grapes, or 73% of the total crush. Conversely, the 76 smallest winemakers accounted for only 0.4% of all grapes crushed and averaged 96 tonnes each. - Kevin Naughton
