New Zealand: Total volume of beer, wine and spirits available for consumption slightly down in 2022

In the just released annual Stats NZ survey year ending December 2022, the number of standard drinks (a standard drink contains 10 grams of alcohol) has fallen in the past year by 1% to 1.96 per day in 2022 which is the lowest number of standard drinks per person in the past 15 years.

The volume of beer, wine and spirits available for consumption shows the total annual volume has declined by 0.3 percent to 498 million litres. This follows a small rise of 0.9 percent in 2021 and 0.8 percent in 2020, says NZABC executive director Virginia Nicholls.

In 2022, the volume of alcohol available per person aged 18 years and over was 11 percent below the latest series peak in 2010.

The spirits and wine trends we have seen in the past two years have continued, with the total annual volume of spirits increasing by 3.2% to 103 million litres and wine has dropped 5.9% to 101 million litres. Overall the total volume of beer has increased by 0.5 percent to 294 million litres.

In the past 15 years the total volume of alcohol beverages available for consumption, beer decreased from 66 percent to 59%; wine increased from 19 percent to 20 percent and spirits increased from 14 percent to 21 percent.
