This indicates a steady year-on-year growth: 0.57% from 2024 to 2025, 1.14% from 2025 to 2026, 0.56% from 2026 to 2027, and 1.12% from 2027 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include potential influences of evolving consumer preferences towards wine varieties, as well as the impact of economic factors such as disposable income and consumer confidence.
