Greek wine and alcoholic beverage industry trends

Overview

The Greek wine and alcoholic beverage industry is experiencing divergent trends regarding production and trade. For the 2026/27 period, wine production is estimated at approximately 1.67 million hectoliters. While this is a 1.31% increase from the previous period, it remains 7.89% below the five-year average and represents the third-lowest production level on record. This decline is attributed to spring frosts and reduced vineyard acreage, resulting in production levels that fail to meet domestic demand.

In contrast, the broader alcoholic beverage export sector showed resilience during the first half of 2026. Total exports reached 52.3 million euros, a marginal value decrease of 0.03% compared to 2025. Although export volume fell by 1.43%, the average export price rose to 2.88 Euro/kg. The EU-27 remains the primary market, accounting for roughly 79.5% of export value, while exports to non-EU countries grew by 3.8% in value.
