Who tf is importing Russian wine? They should be in the Hague just for trying to push that on the world.

This is for 2021; I suspect that a few numbers have likely changed significantly.
42.75% of Russian wine exports went to Ukraine.
11.52% to China.
11.12% of Kazakhstan
8% to Belarus
5.22% to Latvia
I’m gonna stop at 5%, but you can go look at the treemap if you want more detail (like I said, though, the entire exports in 2021 were $11.5 million, so it’s not a whole lot…I would guess that the numbers could be pretty noisy from year to year).
It’s only 165k but who on earth is importing Russian wine in France?
guesses
Russian restaurants in France?

Yeah, they have Russian wines listed. Under the champagne section, but I’m assuming that that’s a listing error, given that France has a bit of a spat with Russia over what constitutes champagne.

Having had a decent amount of Chinese wine, all I can say is Russian can’t be worse?
Maybe it is code for something less vile, like irradiated soil.
