Beer is still the clear winner in the top of preferred alcoholic beverages in Vietnam, with a share of 75%, but wine is becoming more popular among the growing middle class and the portfolios of the Vietnamese wine importers are expanding accordingly, to meet the demand growing. Analysts estimate that Vietnam’s wine market will grow by close to 11% in value and 7% in volume by 2030. The numbers could be even better considering that the Asian country’s middle class is expected to double in the same period and many of its consumers are shifting to better-quality imported wines.
The most popular wines come from Chile, but considering the powerful French influence in the region, French wines are not far behind. Australian wines have a strong market presence too. In terms of variety, reds are preferred by over 65% of consumers, white wines by 25%, and sparkling wine is usually reserved for special events.
The success of imported wines, which have over 70% of the market, compared to 25% for the locally produced varieties, has also allowed the emergence of a larger number of Vietnamese wine importers and distributors in the last years.
