National Vintage Report 2019 Australian South Australia Wine National Vintage Report 2019: South Australia Wine Australia for National Vintage Report 2019 Australian South Australia Wine National Vintage Report 2019: South Australia This appendix contains price dispersion tables by region and variety. The information includes tonnes purchased and the breakdown of pricing by grade, tonnes of own grown fruit and an estimated total value of all grapes. It is important to note that these tables utilise raw collected data and therefore tonnes and total value will differ from figures quoted in the National Vintage Report 2019. For purchased grapes, if a regional/varietal combination did not have three or more purchasers, it was excluded for the sake of privacy of those respondents. Only defined GI regions where the total collected tonnage exceeds 1000 tonnes have been included in this report. Information for smaller regions and ‘zones – other’ can be obtained on request.

There were increases in average prices for the three largest varieties: Shiraz up by 7 per cent to $1249 per tonne, Sauvignon Blanc up 30 per cent to $990 per tonne and Pinot Gris/Grigio up by 17 per cent to $986 per tonne.

  • Carbon Footprint and Sulphur Emissions for International Wine Distribution Using Alternative Routeing and Packaging Scenarios
    Carbon Footprint and Sulphur Emissions for International Wine Distribution using Alternative Routeing and Packaging Scenarios Irina Harris1a, Vasco Sanchez Rodriguesa, Stephen Pettita, Anthony Beresforda, Rodion Liashkob aLogistics and Operations Management Section, Cardiff Business School, Cardiff University b Yusen Logistics Abstract There is a large body of research related to carbon footprint reduction in supply chains and logistics from a wide range of sectors where the decarbonisation of freight transport is frequently explored from a single mode perspective and at domestic/regional level (Jardine, 2009; Maersk, 2013; Wiesmann, 2010). The decarbonisation of global freight transport chains needs to take into account a range of alternative transport modes and routes in addition to the decisions related to the alternative product packaging at source or closer to the demand points. This paper intends to address these shortcomings and the research presents a “gate to gate” carbon footprint and sulphur calculations methodology related to the distribution of wine from Australia and Italy to the UK. The methodology adopted in this paper uses secondary data gathered from academic and industrial sources on the distribution of wine from source to market. These were used to evaluate the environmental impact of international wine transport to the UK from two sourcing areas: Italy and Australia. A number of options were evaluated to calculate the carbon footprint and sulphur emissions of alternative route, mode and packaging combinations. The estimation of CO2e emissions incorporates three main elements - cargo mass, distance and transport mode whereas sulphur emissions are derived from actual ship routing, engine power and travel times. The decision made related to the bottling of wine either at source or destination is also integrated into the model.

The total area of vines included in this definition is 852 2018, a 34% increase on the 3,053 tonnes crushed in 2017 and the hectares. highest since 2008. Over the past five years, the average crush across Fleurieu zone – other has been 3,105 tonnes. The 2018 crush was 35% above the average. The minimum crush over the period was 2,831 tonnes in 2013. The total estimated value of grapes from Fleurieu zone - other in 2018 was $3.7 million, compared with $2.8 million in 2017. This was a result of the higher tonnage combined with higher average prices for most varieties. The average purchase price for Shiraz increased by 16% to $1037 per tonne, while Cabernet Sauvignon increased by 13% to $1,213 per tonne. These increases reversed similar sized decreases last year. On the other hand, Chardonnay declined by 15% to $528 per tonne and Sauvignon Blanc decreased by 9% to $700 per tonne. The price dispersion data shows that 2% of red grapes were purchased at below $600 per tonne compared with 5% in 2017 – an upward shift in the price dispersion since last year.
