英文： Australians are drinking less beer and more wine and spirit
The image of Australia as a nation of beer drinkers is under attack, with new figures on Monday showing Australians are drinking less beer and more wine and spirits.
The shift is a result of an increase in the amount of wine available in Australia and a continued increase in the amount of pre-mixed spirit drinks available, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
Australians drank 109.9 litres of beer per person aged 15 or more in 2004, down from 114.6 litres in 2003. Altogether, 1,760 million litres was available to drink in the year to June 30, 2004, down 2.6 percent from 1,807 million litres a year earlier.
Wine consumption per person rose 2.6 percent over the same period to 27.5 litres from 26.8 litres a year earlier. the Amount of wine available to drink increased 3.9 percent to 439.7 million litres in 2004 from 423.1 million litres a year earlier.
Spirits consumption rose marginally to 2.05 litres per person over 15. But the figures showed a massive increase in the amount of available pre-mixed spirit drinks to 13.87 million litres in 2004 from 1.59 million litres three years earlier.
Alcohol consumption analyst Sandra Jones from Wollongong University said beer was under threat on two fronts, with older Australians now drinking more wine and younger Australians turning away from beer in favour of pre-mixed spirit drinks.
"The ready-to-drinks are going up, but the spirits are not going down by the same amount. The rise is being traded off against beer," Jones told Reuters.

摘要：
澳大利亞人愛(ài)喝啤酒的說(shuō)法最近受到了挑戰(zhàn)。澳統(tǒng)計(jì)局6月27日公布的最新統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)顯示，該國(guó)啤酒消費(fèi)量正在下降，而葡萄酒和烈酒的消費(fèi)量卻在上升。
據(jù)路透社6月27日?qǐng)?bào)道，澳大利亞統(tǒng)計(jì)局表示，上述變化是由于葡萄酒和預(yù)調(diào)烈酒供應(yīng)量增加的緣故。
數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2004年，澳大利亞15歲及15歲以上人口平均每人喝掉了109.9升啤酒，而2003年為114.6升；2003年6月30日至2004年6月30日，澳啤酒供應(yīng)量為17.6億升，比一年前的18.07億升下降了2.6％。
數(shù)據(jù)同時(shí)顯示，2003年6月30日至2004年6月30日，澳大利亞人均葡萄酒的消費(fèi)量為27.5升，比一年前的26.8升增加了2.6％。葡萄酒供應(yīng)量也從2003年的4.231億升增長(zhǎng)達(dá)到2004年的4.397億升，漲幅為3.9％。2004年，預(yù)調(diào)烈酒供應(yīng)量由3年前的159萬(wàn)升大幅上升到2004年的1387萬(wàn)升。
伍倫貢（澳大利亞?wèn)|南部港市）大學(xué)酒類消費(fèi)分析人士桑德拉·瓊斯表示，啤酒消費(fèi)下降的主要原因，一是該國(guó)老年人葡萄酒量消費(fèi)量正在上升，二是年輕人正把興趣轉(zhuǎn)向預(yù)調(diào)烈酒。
