Key Indicators Complete data is available at winesandvines.com/metrics U .S. wine sales registered steady growth during August 2016, according to market-research company bw166, ris- ing 4% over sales recorded in August 2015. Sales of domestic wines through all channels including on premise, off premise and direct to consumer totaled $2.8 billion. The 12-month sales picture was similar, with tallies for domestic table and sparkling wines as well as repackaged bulk imports rising 3% to $39.2 billion. Sparkling wines saw the strongest growth over the period at 7%. On-premise sales played a key role with 6% growth, nearly double that of off-premise sales. In the company's monthly overview report, bw166 managing partner Jon Moramarco pointed to on-premise sales benefitting from operators restoring margins lost during the Great Recession. This has boosted consumer spending in the channel. Imported wines continued to outstrip do- mestic sales growth with a 4% gain during 12 months. —Peter Mitham U.S. Wine Sales Winery Job Index MONTH August 2016 286 August 2015 260 12 MONTHS August 2016 284 August 2015 263 MONTHLY INDEX 8% Total Sales of Domestic Wine Rise 3% During 12 Months Source: winejobs.com winejobs.com Index 500 400 300 200 100 0 2016 2015 Sep Oct Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug 10% TOTAL WINE SALES $ Millions 2016 2015 Change % Change Domestic Table, Sparkling & Imported Bulk $39,201 $37,894 $1,307 3% Packaged Imports & All Other Wines $19,807 $18,987 $820 4% Total Wines $59,008 $56,882 $2,127 4% Source: bw166.com, Wines Vines Analytics, consumer expenditures for all wines on-premise and off-premise, 12 months through August 2016.
