According to UIV, this contraction was anticipated following a pre-tariff stockpiling surge in the second half of 2024. The broader picture for non-EU markets is even more concerning: exports fell 9% in volume and 2.4% in value over the same four-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;For some time now,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/cucineditalia.com\/en\/eu-tariffs-european-wine-export-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UIV<\/a> <strong>President Lamberto Frescobaldi<\/strong>, &#8220;we\u2019ve been urging the industry to focus on real consumption trends, rather than just shipping data, which are only now reflecting the distortions caused by stockpiling. UIV believes urgent action is needed to address growing market imbalances \u2014 a topic that will take center stage at our upcoming National Assembly on July 3, especially as we approach the next harvest.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Without the support of the U.S. market, <strong>non-EU export volumes would have dropped by 15%<\/strong> in the first four months of 2025, with value down 10%. Asia posted double-digit declines \u2014 notably in Japan and China \u2014 while South Korea was a rare bright spot. Exports to Russia plummeted by 65%. The UK, the world\u2019s third-largest importer of Italian wine, also posted declines: -5% in volume and -6% in value. Meanwhile, Switzerland and Canada, the fourth and fifth largest non-EU buyers, remained stable \u2014 with Canada even recording an 8% uptick in volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unioneitalianavini.it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Unione Italiana Vini<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A double blow hits Made in Italy&#8217;s wine sector.
