The Spanish ministry of
agriculture, fisheries, food and the environment (MAPAMA) has announced the figures
for spirits for 2016 covering the 19 Indicaciones Geográficas (IG, equivalent of DO) reporting a
rise in sales of 5.8% to 19,597,482 litres. This increase is due to better
sales on the home market while export sales dipped. Brandy de Jerez is the
clear leader with 54.6% of total sales thanks to being by far the largest
exporter. Total spirit sales value was 135,115,262€ of which 59.4% was Brandy
de Jerez with a value of 80,254,298€. Of the 19 IGs in Spain, Brandy de Jerez
is way ahead with production of 10.7 million litres of which 7.4 million were
exported.
