In 2024, German wine exports increased by 3% in volume to 1.2 million hectolitres, while export value remained steady at €384 million.
According to the German Wine Institute (DWI), German wine exports in 2024 saw a 3% increase in volume, reaching 1.2 million hectolitres, while the export value held steady at €384 million. This resulted in an average price decrease of €0.11 per litre, bringing it to €3.24.
Monika Reule, managing director of the DWI, noted a global shift towards white wine consumption. With 69% of Germany’s vineyards dedicated to white grape varieties, the country is well-positioned to meet this demand. However, Reule highlighted the intense competition from other wine-producing nations that often have lower production costs, contributing to the decline in average export prices.
