| In this study, estimates are presented for the 2005-06 and 2006-07 vintages, together with production projections for 2007-08 and 2008-09. Data are presented for 24 specialist wine grape varieties, with multipurpose varieties and minor varieties reported as two separate categories. Advice from industry experts was sought about the yields used in the study.
Production projections are included for 27 zones — these results are presented in the report pdf provided in this miniwebsite.
In previous years, regional estimates and forecasts were presented using traditional grape growing area boundaries. Since last year ABARE has adopted the ‘geographical indication’ (GI) regions for this study, in line with the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the National Utilisation Project. In all, estimates and projections are presented for 81 regions — excel tables, by state, are provided separately on the miniwebsite, as outlined below. |
