Italian wine sales overtake France’s in the United States. According to latest Vinitaly-Nomisma Wine Monitor survey on customs data, in the first two months of 2018 the value of Italian wine grew by 3.8%, compared to French wine’s +3.4%. In this race, Made in Italy products’ sales are in the first place with 243 million euro against 227 million euro.
Figures are still very partial – commented the general manager of Veronafiere, Giovanni Mantovani – but the positive reaction of our operators to last year’s overtaking is a good sign for Vinitaly 2018 (from 15 to 18 April in Verona), where the focus debate in the inaugural event will be dedicated to the United States. ‘Il futuro dei mercati, i mercati del futuro: Italy first negli Stati Uniti?’
