502.8 million liters shipped (-2.1%), for EUR 2.2 billion (+3.5%). USA in decline, but first market. UK and Germany are growing, boom in France.
502.8 million liters (-2.1%), for EUR 2.2bn (+3.5%) on 2022: this is the export result of Italian sparkling wines in 2023, which, therefore, are doing well better in value, but worse in quantity.
On the total of Italian wine (at EUR 7.7bn in value, -0.8%, and 2.1 billion liters in volume, -0.9%), the tricolor bubbles are now worth just under a quarter in volume, and just over 25% in value, of the total shipments of Italian wine in the world. A picture that emerges from a WineNews study on Istat data which, among other things, demonstrates the greater difficulties of still wines, at least in volume, on sparkling.
Looking at some of the most important markets, the United States, despite a decline of -5.7%, remains the first market in value for Italian sparkling wines, at EUR 492.7mn, followed by the United Kingdom, at EUR 411.2mn (+3.3%), and from Germany to EUR 145.8mn (+5.9%).
But the most significant growth, and almost entirely attributable to the Prosecco world, is that of France, at EUR 130.3mn, with a leap of +25.6% on 2022. Good growth also in Switzerland, with a + 6.5% reaches EUR 83.6mn, while Russia (which is also among Asti's main world markets) loses significantly, at EUR 83mn (-8.6%).
Among the main markets, Canada is essentially stable for Italian sparkling wines, with a value of EUR 58.1mn (-3.7%). Asia has traded very bad: Japan droped to EUR 37.6mn (-15.7%), while China stoped at EUR 11.2mn (-20.2%).
