It’s worth noting the growth in exports in the United States (+13.08%), German (+13.46%) and Brazilian (+8.65%) markets. On the other hand, the Angolan and Swedish markets recorded decreases of, respectively, -7.40% and -4.06%.

Analysing the European markets where ViniPortugal promotes wines, Poland was the country that registered the highest percentage growth, increasing 19.54% in 2021 (exceeding 30.98 million euros), followed by Germany, which increased 13 .46% (exceeding 54.67 million euros) and Denmark, with an increase of 6.68% (to 22.97 million euros).

Regarding Third Countries, emphasis is placed on exports of Portuguese wines to the USA (+13.08%), Brazil (+8.65%) and Russia (+34.50%), representing total sales of 104.32, 73 .77 and 10.98 million euros, respectively. 14.27 million euros were exported to China, a growth of 9.55% compared to 2020 and a recovery, given that in 2020 this market had declined.

“We are very satisfied with these results. This strong sales growth in value (of 8.11%) almost doubled that of 2020, with higher increase in new markets, but also strong grow in exports to our traditional markets.”, says Frederico Falcão, president of ViniPortugal.
