From policy shifts to new consumption trends, here are ten keywords that illustrate the landscape of this year’s Chinese wine market.
By the end of 2024, the Chinese wine market, which many merchants hoped would rebound this year, remains mired in a downturn. Yet, unlike the stark struggles of 2023, glimmers of a more optimistic future have emerged.
The lifting of punitive tariffs on Australian wines in March provided a much-needed jolt to the industry, reflected in rebounding import data. However, this recovery has not yet translated into widespread revitalization. The market continues to grapple with cautious stocking practices and the closure of businesses, underscoring the challenges that persist.
Even so, 2024 brought moments of encouragement. The gradual maturation of China’s mass wine consumer market and the emergence of new trends offered a warm reprieve amid the winter of industry woes. While it may be too soon to call this “hope,” the calm resilience and adaptability of industry practitioners signal the groundwork for steady progress.
