Champagne sales hit €6 billion as consumers toast end of lockdowns

Champagne sales reached 326 million bottles in 2022, up 1.6 per cent on 2021

Global champagne sales topped €6 billion for the first time in 2022 as consumers celebrated the end of pandemic lockdowns, new figures show.

While domestic sales were down by 1.7 per cent to 138.4 million bottles, exports increased by 4.3 per cent to about 187.5 million bottles, meaning exports took a majority share of the Champagne market for the first time. “Champagne, as the supreme wine of celebrations, had been the natural choice of the world’s consumers as they rejoiced at the end of lockdowns and rediscovered a taste for parties, for going out and travelling,” David Chatillon, president of the Union des Maisons de Champagne and co-president of the Comité Champagne, told Decanter magazine.

“We witnessed significant growth in demand for Champagne, both at the grower level and at the prestige cuvée level, last year,” Whelehan told Food&Wine, citing Dom Pérignon, Cristal, Vintage Krug and Pol Roger Winston Churchill as being particularly sought after. “There continues to be strong demand at the super premium level even in January."
