(Thedrinksbusiness) - The latest Nielsen data that tracks the UK off-trade up to October 2011 reveals that Chile has moved up to fifth place in the list of best-selling wine countries, overtaking South Africa for the first time.
The South American country was one of only four countries to show an improvement in volumes over the past year, with the others being New Zealand, Italy and Spain.
Chile’s off-trade sales of 8.5 million cases, valued at £452m, gave it a market share of 9.1% overall.
According to Wines of Chile, latest export figures indicate that the UK has regained its status as Chile’s number one export market for bottled wine.
