Italian wine export sales touched the €8 billion mark, reaching €7.9 billion in value in 2022 (+9.8 percent compared to 2021) despite substantial stability in volume sales (22 million hectoliters, -0.6 percent).

According to the analysis of the Observatory of Unione Italiana Vini, Ismea, and Vinitaly, the market has also withstood inevitable price increases. However, escalating production costs have eroded the supply chain’s profit margins considerably, especially for entry-level and popular products (up to 6 euros per liter).
