Australia<br />
From the iconic to the lesser known,<br />
Australia’s 65 wine regions extend from<br />
the Granite Belt in southern Queensland<br />
to Tasmania in the south and Margaret<br />
River in the west.<br />
Most of the regions are located on or<br />
near the coast, with a vast range of<br />
climates, soils and varietals.<br />
And, we Brits love Australian wine -<br />
in 2020 the UK imported just under<br />
1.5 billion litres making Australia the<br />
second largest source of wine imports<br />
into the UK by volume and fourth largest<br />
by value.<br />
Australia is the number one country of<br />
origin in the UK off-trade market, with<br />
nearly twice the market share of its<br />
nearest rivals, France and Italy. In the ontrade<br />
Australia ranks at 4th.<br />
The 2021 harvest was good, with whites<br />
around the same price as 2020. Reds<br />
fell slightly in price, due in part to the<br />
geopolitical issues which have resulted in<br />
a drop in demand from China.
