Top 25 Traded Australian Wines of 2012

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA – Thursday December 27, 2012 -- Wickman's Fine Wine Auctions release the annual list of top 25 Australian wines sold through Australian wine auctions by volume for the 2012 period.

Euro-failing countries and looming fiscal cliffs did not deter fine wine drinkers from indulging in their favourite aged tipple this year.

During 2012 Australian fine wine drinkers turned over approximately 17.5 million dollars via Australia’s five specialist fine wine auction houses.

While the wine auction market in Asia continues to drop, Australia and Australian secondary market wines have remained relatively steady with only minor gains and falls in average trading prices of the 25 leading auction wines (by volume) of 2012.
