The wine market, even in the U.S., is not shining, there is no shortage of economic difficulties, and there is great uncertainty ahead of the presidential election, now just around the corner. But overall, things are not so bad for Italian wine, which remains the absolute leader among imported wines in the world's most important market, and which is growing more than average, at least in the first 6 months 2024.

This was stated in a note from Ice in New York, headed by Erica Di Giovancarlo, on market trends between January and June 2024, analyzed by WineNews. The data say that the U.S., in the first half of the year, imported 6.3 million hectoliters of wine, 0.7% more than the same period 2023, for a value, however, at -3%, for $3.3 billion.
