Australia Crystalline Fructose: China has become Australia's largest red wine export market

With the soaring Chinese market, Australian wine exports continue to grow

 

According to Jemima Burt and Tom Nancy from the Agricultural News Agency of the Australian Broadcasting Authority, new data shows that China has become Australia's most valuable wine export market.

 

The Australian wine export report shows that the total export value to Greater China reached $853 million, far higher than the second ranked US $461 million.

 

In the past 12 months, China's export value has increased by 42%, once again demonstrating Australia's dominant position in the most valuable wine market.

 

The total export value of Australian wine has increased comprehensively in the 12 months since the end of September 2017, with a growth rate of 13.4%, reaching 2.44 billion US dollars, nearly 800 million liters.

 

Andreas Clark, CEO of Wine Australia, stated that the strong demand for red wine in the Chinese market in recent years is crucial for the local Australian wine industry.

 

A new wine culture is emerging in China, which is a Westernization trend and a new pursuit of a new and healthy lifestyle. Of course, there is still a long way to go in China.

 

 

Shiraz red wine is widely praised

 

Red wine varieties have once again become the big winners, accounting for 74% of exports and performing better than white wine in China.

 

Clark said that Australia's red wine series, including the popular Shiraz red wine, is widely popular among Chinese consumers.

 

He said, "Red wine is widely praised in the Chinese market, and over 90% comes from Australia.".

 

Australian red wine has experienced negative growth for over seven years, and it has been profitable for the past three years.

 

 

Traditional Australian winemakers are delighted by the strong demand for Australian red wine from China

 

Nick Waterman, the general manager of Yaramba in Barossa Valley, South Australia, said that the sustained growth of Australian red wine exports to China is surprising.

 

He said: Although the wine industry has been anticipating this phenomenon for a long time, most people did not expect demand to be so strong.Australia Crystalline Fructose

 

It is evident that wine, traditionally seen as a healthy choice, has rapidly transformed into a necessity for a lifestyle.

 

As China's population becomes increasingly affluent, wine has gradually entered the general catering industry and ordinary households, moving from five-star hotels and first tier cities.
