Database Specific Abstract AbstractThis publication provides estimates of apparent consumption of alcohol based on the availability of alcoholic beverages in Australia. It provides estimates of the quantity of pure alcohol available for consumption from beer, wine, spirits, Ready to Drink (pre-mixed) beverages (RTDs) and cider, plus estimates of the total volume of beer and wine available for consumption.
Source Source Direct source Direct source Data source(s) used Data source(s) usedData for beer, wine, spirits and RTDs are collected from import clearances via the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS), excise tariff data from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) (which only applies to alcohol sold in Australia and is collected for beer and spirits only), and domestic sales of Australian produced wine from winemakers. Domestic data for beer and wine also contains an estimated component for home production. Data for cider has been derived indirectly from ABS National Health Surveys.
Population & Scope Population & Scope Product coverage Product coverageThe scope of this collection is beer, wine, spirits, RTDs and cider available for consumption.
Other Aspects Other Aspects Recommended uses and limitations Recommended uses and limitationsIt should be noted that estimates of 'apparent consumption' of alcoholic beverages (excluding cider) are derived using information related to supply (that is, data on domestic sales of Australian produced wine, excise data on alcohol produced for domestic consumption, data on imports and an estimated component for home production). No adjustments are made for: 1) changes in stocks; 2) duty-free alcohol imported by individual overseas travellers; 3) alcohol which is imported into Australia, cleared through a bonded warehouse and then subsequently re-exported; or 4) alcohol that has been stored or cellared, used in the preparation of food or discarded as waste.
