Bordeaux  experienced a small decline in trade from the previous week’s figure of 49.5%. Nonetheless, Bordeaux still had three of the top-traded wines.


In contrast, Tuscany experienced a significant increase in its trade share, rising to 12.7% this week compared to just 3.4% last week. This surge was primarily driven by wines like Sassicaia 2019, which claimed the top spot among the most traded wines. Additionally, Sassicaia 2016 and Soldera Case Basse, a 100% Sangiovese wine from Toscana 2018, also saw active trading.


Piedmont also witnessed a notable increase in its trade share, reaching 7.6% this week compared to 2.7% last week. Giuseppe Rinaldi’s Barolo Tre Tine 2019 secured the fifth position among the most active wines, with the 2018, 2013, and 2019 vintages of Giuseppe Rinaldi’s Barolo Brunate contributing to the region’s trade share growth.


The Rhône region experienced a slight uptick in its trade share, rising from 1.2% last week to 1.8% this week.


All other regions including Burgundy, Champagne, the USA, and the ‘Others’ category observed a decline in their respective trade shares. Among them, the USA experienced the most significant decrease, falling to 3.8% from 4.8% last week.
