Why don’t British girls love Australian?
Sunday, January 16th, 2011Who is drinking Australian wine in the UK?
Australian wine is engaging older wine drinkers in the UK, but is failing to excite younger UK wine drinkers to the same extent, and this is particularly true among female drinkers.
UK Vinitrac® findings from October 2010 show that of the 57% of the UK regular wine drinkers who opted for Aussie wines in the previous 6 months, two thirds were aged over 45 years old, with 1 in 4 of them being aged over 65 years old. Those not currently purchasing Australian wine in the UK tend to be of the ‘millennial generation’ (i.e. the under 35 year olds).
