Champagne exports down 5%

It’s unusual to hear negative numbers from Champagne but in 2008 exports fell with 4.8% to reach “only” 322 million bottles. Counted in value it is estimated to have added up to 4.5 bn euro. 45% of sales go on export (51% if counted in value). In spite of the decrease 2008 is one of the top three years ever in champagne.
