## Resource

South Australia’s 2026 wine harvest is the smallest in 24 years, with a 17% drop to 573,252 tons as growers rip up 1,440 hectares to combat oversupply and plummeting red grape prices. Despite supplying half the nation’s grapes, the crush’s value fell 24% to $403 million. Winemakers face tough choices about what and where to plant, with some like Angove tearing up half their vines—a decade-long gamble. Nationally, total grape crush is down 300,000 tons to 1.27 million, the lowest since 2000, as the industry resets to match shifting demand. White grapes are surging, now making up the majority of the crush, reflecting a global pivot toward white wine and a sharper decline in red demand Down Under.
