Current consumption statistics
• Sales of wine within Australia are growing annually at a rate of only 2%.
• This is not high enough to sustain existing increases in wine production.
OPPORTUNITYBy applying new tactics to marketing, the wine industry could see Generation X becoming responsible for 50% of Australia’s wine buying between 2005 and 2015.
