Champagne Champions: US Tops UK As World’s Biggest Bubbly Buyer<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Amid Christmas and New Year’s celebrations, many people stocked up on their favorite drinks.<\/p>\n

And what better way to toast on a special occasion than opening a bottle of champagne, one of France’s proudest exports.<\/p>\n

As Statista’s Felix Richter shows in the chart below<\/a>, the United States and the UK are particularly fond of the exclusive sparkling wine from the Champagne region<\/strong>, having imported 26.9 and 25.5 million bottles in 2023, respectively.<\/p>\n

As our chart, based on data by the trade association\u00a0Comit\u00e9 Champagne,<\/a>\u00a0shows, five of the eight largest international markets for champagne are located in Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not to say that other countries don’t enjoy sparkling wine, but the numbers given here only refer to the higher-priced, regionally-produced drink from the French region of Champagne.<\/p>\n

The area was officially designated in 1927 and is home to\u00a0winemakers<\/a>\u00a0like Veuve Clicquot, Mo\u00ebt & Chandon and Krug.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While champagne makes up less than 10 percent of global sparkling wine consumption, it accounts for 35 percent of the market value<\/strong>, generated with only 0.5 percent of the world’s total vineyard area.<\/p>\n

Overall, champagne exports from France amounted to roughly $4.4 billion in 2023<\/strong>, with the U.S. alone importing almost $1 billion worth of the prestigious bubbly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
