If, in the U.S of Trump duties, things, for Italian wine, up to today, functioned, according to Istat data (988.4 million euros in value the export from Italy to the U.S., growing by +5.2% in the first semester of 2025 compared to 2024, and up +1.1% in volume, at 179.9 million liters), this doesn’t mean that there aren’t issues.
Because duties still weigh heavily on European and Italian wine, and for now, “the cost is largely being borne by businesses, if it is true that, in July, Italian wine arrived in the U.S. at a reduced average price (-13.5%) to remain competitive despite being hit by tariffs”. This is according to Unione Italiana Vini (Uiv) Observatory, which analyzed the latest data from U.S. customs imports.
