Data — downloadable series
The historical series behind Vinistory's charts, as downloadable CSVs — French production, trade, consumption and grape varieties, with sources.
Every chart on this site is drawn at build time from a published, citable series — never from our own estimates. This page collects those series as plain CSV files, free to download. If you reuse them, cite the original compilers listed under each file, not us: we are re-publishing extracts of their work for convenience.
The series
- France wine series, 1835–2024 — annual production, export volume, share of production exported, vine area and per-capita consumption. Source: Anderson & Pinilla, Annual Database of Global Wine Markets, 1835 to 2024, Wine Economics Research Centre, University of Adelaide (April 2025 update). Units are in the header row; production and exports are kilolitres (divide by 100,000 for million hectolitres), vine area is thousand hectares.
- France winegrape bearing areas by variety, 1960–2016 — national bearing area by prime variety at seven snapshots. Source: Anderson & Nelgen, University of Adelaide. Note that variety names use the database's "prime names": Mazuelo is Carignan, Trebbiano Toscano is Ugni blanc, Garnacha Tinta is Grenache noir, Côt is Malbec.
- Gironde winegrape bearing areas by variety, 2022 — the Bordeaux vineyard's varietal makeup. Same source and naming, 2023 edition.
Caveats that travel with the numbers
- The 1835–2024 series is national (France), not Bordeaux-specific. Gironde-level historical series exist in print (chamber of commerce records, Statistique agricole) and will be added as they are digitized and verified.
- Medieval export figures quoted in our articles (the 1308–09 record of 102,724 tonneaux) come from the Grande Coutume registers as published by the scholarly literature (M.K. James; S. Lavaud) and are port throughput, not production; 1 tonneau ≈ 800–900 litres.
- Bearing area ≠ planted area (young vines not yet bearing are excluded).
Reuse
