Industry Statistics & Insights
As grape growing and wine production increases in Great Britain, it is vitally important to understand the data behind that growth, in terms of hectarage, production and sales. These industry statistics enable us to plan and inform producers and benchmark in areas such as yield and best practice in the commercial elements of our industry like tourism and exports.
- WineGB undertakes an annual survey to capture industry statistics on production, grape growing, sales, tourism and employment.
- The results of this data are shared with our members and with other stakeholders in an annual report on the state of the industry. The results are also used to determine our strategy and areas of focus.
- We also work with insights companies to share reports on consumer behaviour and demographics and share reports with our members.
