In a difficult economic environment, French wine exports have risen dramatically so far in 2011. From January to June 2011, there has been a 5% volume increase and a 15% value increase compared to the same period in 2010, Ubifrance, the French trade commission, reports.
France exported some 6.6m hectoliters of wine valued at €3.1bn, Ubifrance said.
The wine recovery is mainly driven by countries outside Europe, although the EU still remains stable, Ubifrance project manager Marie Cambon said.
