Foreign media: According to a report released by the Australian government agency Wine Australia, weak demand from the Chinese market in 2025 is the main reason for the decline in Australia's wine exports.
Due to changes in consumer preferences and tastes, Australia's wine exports to China fell by 17%, reaching 755 million Australian dollars (about 532 million US dollars), which is the biggest factor causing an 8% decline in Australia's overall wine exports. Although the 218.4% tariff on Australian wine was lifted in March 2024, the Chinese market still faces a long-term trend of declining consumption.
Five years ago, the size of the Chinese wine market was three times what it is now. A lack of consumer confidence has further affected household spending in China. In 2025, Australia's total wine exports declined by 8%, falling to 2.34 billion Australian dollars (about 1.65 billion US dollars), and the volume of exports also dropped by 6%, reaching 613 million liters (about 162 million gallons).
