\"Wine+farm+xx\"<\/a>South African exports into Africa are growing<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, says Wines of South Africa (WOSA) Africa head Matome Mbatha.<\/p>\n

Angola is importing 6 million liters of wine, of which more than 80% is sparkling wines, and predominantly JC le Roux, a brand they are ‘crazy about<\/em>‘, Mbatha says. The 4,5 million liters of Nigeria’s imports from our country are mainly Pinotage and Merlot, red wine being popular despite the heat in the country!<\/p>\n

Other popular wine export countries are Uganda, Kenya, and Ghana, all countries currently or planning to produce oil in Africa. \u00a0Wine exports to China increased by 30% in the past year, despite the economic growth of that country having\u00a0slowed down.<\/p>\n

South\u00a0Africa is the 7th largest wine-producing country in volume, and makes up 4% of global wine production. Wine exports from our country have declined by 20%, to 423 million liters, between 2013 and 2014.<\/p>\n
