Rules:

1. Be civil

2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

This is for 2021; I suspect that a few numbers have likely changed significantly.

  • 42.75% of Russian wine exports went to Ukraine.

  • 11.52% to China.

  • 11.12% of Kazakhstan

  • 8% to Belarus

  • 5.22% to Latvia

I'm gonna stop at 5%, but you can go look at the treemap if you want more detail (like I said, though, the entire exports in 2021 were $11.5 million, so it's not a whole lot...I would guess that the numbers could be pretty noisy from year to year).

It's only 165k but who on earth is importing Russian wine in France?

Yeah, they have Russian wines listed. Under the champagne section, but I'm assuming that that's a listing error, given that France has a bit of a spat with Russia over what constitutes champagne.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57733684

France has hit back at a new Russian law ordering French champagne makers to label their bottles as sparkling wine.

France has strict rules protecting its bubbly, meaning to be called champagne it must be from the French region that shares the name.

But under Russia's new law, only local producers can call their drinks "shampanskoye" - the Russian equivalent of champagne.

France's main champagne industry group called the law "unacceptable".

Having had a decent amount of Chinese wine, all I can say is Russian can't be worse?
