Despite 2018 being a challenging year for the wine industry, with a low-yielding harvest owing to the regional drought, the Wines of South Africa (WoSA) Export Report has found positive growth in the overall value of exports.
The 4% increase in the value of exports to R9.06-billion reflected the positive sentiments towards South African wine in international markets, although there was a 6% decrease in export volumes to 420-million litres.
