About this dataset
The statistics in this release measure how much alcoholic beverage is released to the domestic market, and therefore available for consumption. The statistics do not measure actual consumption. Information is not available to measure the change in the level of stocks that are held before sale and therefore, not yet consumed. The figures also exclude alcoholic beverages produced by households.
This release includes statistics for beer, spirits, spirit-based drinks, and wine (includes cider).
Method of collection/Data provider
The volume of alcohol available for consumption comes solely from administrative data. No direct surveying occurs. Stats NZ obtain information from two sources: New Zealand Customs Service (NZCS) and their own merchandise trade statistics.
NZCS provides figures on beer, spirits, spirit-based drinks, and wine produced for local consumption on which duty is paid; the merchandise trade statistics provide data on imports less re-exports.
