No. 6 Argentina
Argentina is the only country in the top 10 that saw growth last year in China, becoming the lone star performer, indicating that Chinese consumers are warming up to its signature Malbec.
Its wine exports to China grew by 2% to 25 million euros last year compared with 2019, a notable growth from 2019’s 14 million euros, based on customs data.
If Argentinean producers play their cards right, the upward trajectory could lead to much bigger market share, a step closer to edging closer to its South American neighbor Chile.
I think that your info on San Pedro is not accurate
No news about being sold

Dear Natalie, thanks for your article … if possible could you mention the source of your data (value of China import for each country and if the number related only to below 2 litre bottled wine or wine category as whole thus including bulk …..
Hi, the data is from Chinese customs and it includes bottled and bulk wines.
Hi Natalie, thanks for fast reply … by chance do you have access to data for bottled wine (without bulk and sparkling) … before i remember CAWS publishes … many thanks indeed
Hi Natalie, i hope i am not abusing of your expertise … while i was looking for data on China import of bottled wine (below 2 litre) i used to check this site [ https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/nfL6M8xYb6L31bKBPcnfMg ] but seems it has not updates … maybe u are aware of some other source …
Thanks Natalie, this is fascinating reading, and it will be very interesting as to how the market in China for imported wines changes in the next 2 to 3 years.
