2008 – Last weeks vintage of choice

Bordeaux’s regional trade share bounced back impressively last week, surging from 28.7% to a noteworthy 38.3%. This resurgence thrust Bordeaux wines back into the limelight, with two of them appearing in the top traded rankings.

Champagne also displayed a positive trajectory, rising from 14.7% to 18.6% of the total trade. This impressive performance can be attributed, in part, to Champagne wines securing three out of the top five positions among the top traded wines.

Conversely, these gains for Bordeaux and Champagne came at the expense of Burgundy and Tuscany, which witnessed declines in their trade shares. Burgundy saw a decline from 25.8% to 20.5%, while Tuscany experienced a significant drop, falling from 10.4% to 5.7%.
