UK wine production recorded a 39% harvest increase in 2025 compared to 2024, according to the latest data from WineGB. 

In its 2025 Harvest Report, the association said this was due to favourable weather conditions and a lack of significant disease. 

Several grape varieties performed particularly well, with Bacchus producing 9.5 tonnes per hectare, compared to the five-year average of 6.75 tonnes per hectare. 

Solaris was also up to 7.20 tonnes per hectare, above the 4.20 five-year average. Pinot Noir was also up slightly from 5.79 to 5.90. 

At the same time, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) also published statistics showing that total volume production increased by 55% compared to 2024. This brought the number of hectolitres up to 124,377.68, equivalent to over 16.5 million bottles. 

In particular, the FSA said that white wine saw strong growth, with production increasing more than 131% on the previous year. 

In monetary terms, the agency continued that the UK wine industry is now valued at approximately £14bn. 

Nicola Bates, CEO of WineGB, said: “We take great optimism from scale of the harvest and most importantly the fantastic quality of fruit we are now producing. 

“These results recognise the hard work and efforts of our growers, viticulturists and winemakers and they should feel incredibly proud of this set of results. We are showing real resilience as a sector with exciting times ahead.” 

Mark Dawson, wine standards inspection team leader at the FSA, added: “2025 has been a truly exceptional year for English and Welsh wine, and these figures reflect just how far the industry has come.  

“Our role is to ensure that the wine reaching consumers is safe, accurately labelled and meets the required standards. The growth we are seeing across the industry from vineyards to warehouses to wholesalers and traders makes our work more important than ever.”
