Spirits sector remains one of the most valuable Agri-Food Exports

The quality of European food and drink is world-renowned and European products are in high demand - this creates tremendous opportunities for
trade.

Among these high quality products, European spirits are emblematic of the successful combination of tradition, quality and offensive export strategies.The sector has been active in gaining market share abroad while generating benefits for European regions where these products are made since many years.

The spirits sector generated a positive trade balance of €8.7bn. However, as some of those sales were generated in sterling, and that currency has devalued against the euro, overall exports expressed only in euros have decreased year on year.
