Exports of wine from
Andalucía are growing healthily with wine from Cádiz leading the way. The first 6 months of 2016 show a total
increase on the same period last year of 21%, and wine from Cádiz – Sherry and
the Vinos de la Tierra de Cádiz - represent over 70% of this. Wines from the
province have increased sales to 37.2 million euros or 12.4%. This is mainly
the result of favourable conditions in export markets led by the UK with 26.6%
of sales (up 35%), the USA 15% of sales (up 34.8%) and the Low Countries with
12% of sales. Sales to Russia have grown dramatically to 4.7 million euros
which represents a growth of 950%! Japan remains a small market (in 11th
place) but grew at 133% and great efforts are being made to promote the wines
there.
