Screwcap continues to dominate Australia's bottled wine market

摘要

Grapegrower & Winemaker's inaugural national closure survey clearly depicts screwcap's stronghold in Australia but cork - natural and technical - continues to claim some space in the premium export markets. In the first half of a two-part report, we look at the type of closures being used on Australian wine, as well as the retail price-points and export markets. SCREWCAP REMAINS THE most used closure in Australia on both red and white wine sold overall, and wines sold in specific export markets. However, both technical cork and natural cork still hold a smaller chunk of the closure market, particularly in premium price-points and in export markets such as China and the United States.
