The quantity of alcohol consumed by wine drinkers has passed the consumption of beer drinkers as the alcohol in Wine Passes Beer in Australia
The change has occurred mainly by a fall in beer’s popularity but wine drinking has also begun to fall.
The trends are shown in this graph from London’s Financial Times.
The fall in alcohol consumption was commented on in Glug back in 2011 and 2012.
The latest figures for alcohol consumption are available at the federal government’s Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
