FOR STATISTICS supplied by the South African wine industry body SAWIS, click here. For stats from the OIV representing all of the major wine-producing countries around the globe, see below.
ACCORDING to statistics provided in May 2026 (using 2025 data) by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) based in Dijon, France, the area under vine (for wine and table grapes) throughout the world was estimated at 7-million hectares – the sixth consecutive year of shrinking vineyard plantings globally. Total wine production in 2025 was estimated at 227-million hectolitres, 0.6% above that in 2024, which was the lowest since 1961 at 214mhl – down from 237mhl in 2023, 258mhl in 2022, 260mhl in 2021 and 263mhl in 2020, with 250mhl in 2017 following three years of drought having previously been the lowest in the 21st century to date. Global wine consumption in 2025 was estimated at 208mhl, down 2.7% compared with 2024.
The OIV’s 2025 data has South Africa ranked seventh among the biggest wine-producing countries on the planet, ahead of Chile Germany and Portugal, behind the USA, Australia and Argentina.
