What the numbers show
- Value is half of the 2018 peak (USD 2.86 billion).
- Australia went from USD 3.4 million in 2023 to 587 million in 2024 after China removed its duties in March 2024, and held at 580 million in 2025 (-1.3%).
- France lost 36% of its volume but only 15% of its value: its average price rose from USD 9.49 to 12.63 per litre, so the entry-level French volume is what disappeared. France still holds 64% of sparkling value.
- Chile fell hardest among the big three: -27.7% in value, -43.7% in volume, with its bulk wine more than halved.
- Smaller origins grew: New Zealand +31.5% in value, Moldova doubled, Germany +3.1%. The USA fell 39%.
- Bulk wine is 32% of litres but only 4% of value, at USD 0.91 per litre, supplied almost entirely by Australia and Chile.
