UK: Still the number one export market for Chablis in terms of volume

 

The UK is the leading export market for Chablis wines in terms of volume, with the equivalent of 3.06 million 75 cl bottles, that is to say 16% of their export volumes over the period. But it is no longer the leading market in terms of revenue. The UK now accounts for 16% of export value, at €31.5 million, behind the USA, which is now in first place. 


White Bourgogne wines largely dominate exports of white French AOCs. At the end of October 2023, they accounted for 37% of shipments of these wines to the UK. These results are based on the strong reputation of Chablis wines.
