France maintains image but Spanish sales expected to rise

The results of Sopexa’s 2016 Trade Monitor have revealed that while the trade still sees France as the world’s most prestigious wine producer, sales of Spanish wines are expected to rise. The Trade Monitor is the collected two-year forecasts of 1,100 members of the international trade – importers, wholesalers and retailers – and how their clients and customers view wine. According to their responses, France remains the most popular wine-producing country with 94% of respondents having French wines in their portfolios.
