It is worth noting where wine sits in the alcohol landscape. Around 49% of the alcohol category by value is beer,\u00a0and about the same percentage for spirits (95% of spirits are local baijiu products), leaving around 2% for wine (of which half is bottled locally). As with all markets,\u00a0wine brands struggle to compete with advertising and promotion dollars that beer and spirits brands\u00a0enjoy.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Despite the small market share,\u00a0wine occupies a substantial space in supermarket drinks sections.\u00a0Recently,\u00a0key supermarket operators in China have vastly improved the quality, price,\u00a0and presentation of their wine portfolios. This has led to\u00a0a new level of trust from consumers. \u201cInstant retail\u201d is becoming the norm\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0a bottle\u00a0of chilled wine can be delivered to\u00a0a\u00a0home, or, crucially, to a consumer in a restaurant, within 25 minutes. This opens a vast opportunity to wine in the on-trade where outside of tier one cities wine can be hard to find.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Another encouraging observation seen across all channels in China is the uptick in white wine consumption. Consumers of white wines are the most likely to drink on taste (unlike\u00a0for\u00a0red wine,\u00a0which\u00a0may\u00a0be consumed for image or be given as a \u201cpremium\u201d gift). This shows a level of maturity that bodes well for the future of wine.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">India is growing from a small base (less than 1% of total alcohol consumption value) due to the complexities of local supply chains and strong spirits and beer culture. India\u2019s local wine production commands around 70% of the total wine market. Australia currently takes about 40% market share of imports by volume (mostly TWE and AWL and due to the Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement) but a new Free Trade Agreement with EU will cut import taxes from 150% to 20-30% for wine (reductions from 150% to 40% for spirits and 110% to 50% for beer) will see a levelling of the playing field.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-44242 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine.png 900w, https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine-200x122.png 200w, https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine-292x178.png 292w, https:\/\/www.vinexposium.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/\u00a9Rob-Temple-Sinowine-450x275.png 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>Cr\u00e9dit : <span class=\"TextRun SCXW206312837 BCX8\" lang=\"EN-HK\" xml:lang=\"EN-HK\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW206312837 BCX8\">\u00a9Rob Temple &#8211; <\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW206312837 BCX8\">Sinowine<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #84273b; font-size: 0.8em;\"><strong>Spirits Imports<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW237130131 BCX8\"><strong>Weak consumer sentiment and a challenging tourism industry<\/strong> ha<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW237130131 BCX8\">ve\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW237130131 BCX8\">dented spirits consumption in Thailand, particularly of premium brands.
