Here are the top 10 wine importers in Asia ranked by sales revenue.

No. 8. Keumyang International

Revenue: US$ 89.8 million

Country: South Korea

Founded in 1989, Keumyang International is South Korea’s second-largest wine importer by sales. As a pioneer in the industry, it was the first one to introduce Champagne Pol Roger, and Chilean giants San Pedro and Concha y Toro to South Korea.

In 2017, Camus Engineering & Construction Inc. (Camus E&C) acquired Keumyang International, marking its entry into a wine market that has long been dominated by local retail conglomerates

Led by CEO Sang Deok Cho and with a team of around 400 employees, Keumyang operates with the motto “Good Wines by Good People.” The company emphasizes meaningful customer experiences and sustainable growth. 

Keumyang imports over 2,500 wines from 14 countries and holds exclusive rights to more than 1,100 products, offering a unique selection.

The company encountered difficulties last year as South Korea’s wine market shrank, leading to a 15.1% drop in total sales, which reached 120 billion won (US$89.8 million).
