“We are not afraid of the market being oversaturated with wine yet,” comments Magdalena Zielińska, the President of the Association of Employers – the Polish Wine Council. “Our western neighbours, the Germans – the leaders on the importers’ list – have brought 14.5 million hl to their country, making it 11 times more. Poland is still one of the countries with lowest wine consumption in Europe. An average Pole drinks approx. 3.5 l annually, while in the wine countries of the EU, this amount can even exceed 40 l.” Last year, most wine was brought from Italy (22.2 million l) and Spain (15.5 million l). Bulgaria (15.3 million l), having occupied the position of the most prominent wine supplier for many years, dropped to the third position in 2018. Other popular directions included Germany (14.4 million l), the USA (13.6 million l), France (11.1 million l), Chile (6.8 million l), and Moldova (6.1 million l).
