澳大利亚葡萄酒产业正面临严重困境。根据Wine Australia报告，澳大利亚葡萄酒出口量已降至600万升以下，创22年来最低纪录[1]。出口额同步下滑7%，至23亿澳元，生产商去年因此遭受1.83亿澳元的损失[1]。
全球葡萄酒消费的萎靡是澳洲出口下降的主要驱动力。全球葡萄酒消费已从2018年的近300亿升跌至约200亿升，为1961年以来最低水平[1]。在区域市场中，澳大利亚对华出口下降尤为明显，下降15%至7.56亿澳元，而对美国和英国的出口均创25年新低[1]。值得注意的是，对加拿大出口逆势增长20%至1.88亿澳元，这主要源于美国与贸易伙伴的关税争端导致美国葡萄酒供应减少[1]。
产能端也面临挑战。澳大利亚2026年葡萄收获量为130万吨，远低于过去十年的平均水平[1]。为应对市场困境，澳大利亚生产商正探索低酒精和零酒精产品等新机遇，同时寻求开拓加拿大等新兴市场[1]。
Australian wine exports have fallen to their lowest level in over two decades, with shipments dropping below 6 million liters [1]. The export value declined by 7 percent to AUD 2.3 billion, while producers suffered losses totaling AUD 183 million [1]. This downturn reflects a broader global contraction in wine consumption, which has fallen to approximately 20 billion liters—the lowest level since 1961 [1].
The industry faces significant headwinds across major markets. Exports to China fell 15 percent to AUD 756 million, while shipments to the United States and United Kingdom both hit 25-year lows [1]. However, exports to Canada increased by 20 percent to AUD 188 million, a gain attributed to reduced American wine supply resulting from U.S. trade disputes [1]. Australia's 2026 grape harvest is projected at 1.3 million tonnes, substantially below the ten-year average [1]. Australian producers are responding to these challenges by developing low-alcohol and alcohol-free products to adapt to shifting consumer preferences [1].
