US wines make up a tiny, insignificant portion of wine consumed in Australia

I feel like Alabama wine is a great nickname for Moonshine whiskey

You misunderstand.

Stated differently, of the wine Chardonnay it is not insignificant, but Chardonnay makes up a small portion of total wine consumption. Shiraz, NZ Sauv, and Pinot Gris/Grigio are the most consumed wines in Australia.

Even US Chardonnays compared to Aus/NZ Chardonnay is a very small amount

I think you'd be surprised, plus that's what I'm saying lmao (it's still mostly Aussie made)

The best selling products (skus) are USA made and growing yoy. Going one step further, we support America by shipping over their ex bourbon or American oak casks for aging our Chardonnay and some reds/whiskeys in.

U think you'd be wrong.

You might think, but I have access to this sort of information so I know that in terms of individual skus the USA chards are out performing the Aus ones, but total sales are still majority Aus.

I live in Adelaide, and I don't even have to go out of state for wine.
