Key Points:
Romania's wine consumption in the 2022-2023 wine year (August 1, 2022 - July 31, 2023) was 4.313 million hectoliters, while domestic production was only 4.1 million hectoliters.
This means that Romania imported wine to meet consumer demand.
There was a growth in exports of wines with Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) and Protected Geographical Indication (PGI), as well as varietal wines.
There was a decrease in imports of PDO and PGI wines by 2%, and a 67% decrease in imports of wines without indication.
Overall wine production decreased due to climatic conditions. However, there was an increase in the production of PDO wines, while the production of PGI and varietal wines decreased.
This is a sign of the maturing Romanian wine market, as consumers are increasingly preferring higher quality wines.
Additional Notes:
Romania produced 800,524 hectoliters of PDO wine and 283,567 hectoliters of PGI wine in the 2022-2023 wine year.
The remaining 2.869 million hectoliters of wine produced in Romania was without indication.
Romania consumed 921,722 hectoliters of PDO wine and 370,171 hectoliters of PGI wine in the 2022-2023 wine year.
