In 2023, despite softer wine consumption in China and South Korea, Asia’s wine import market is showing resilience, driven by growing interest in regions like Japan and more recently Thailand. We have ranked the top 10 Asian importers by annual sales revenue, offering insights into the region’s leading players.
This year, Japan takes a prominent position, securing four spots, including the top three importers—a nod to its market sophistication and evolving taste for high-quality wines.
