Wine online
While wine e-commerce has not been widely adopted, the pandemic has challenged this status quo. Online beer, wine, and spirits in the UK recorded a whopping 143 percent increase in sales in January 2021. However, by June of the following year, sales growth of alcohol e-commerce had already gone in the negative territory. Nevertheless, wine e-commerce is poised to continue growing in the future. Globally, the market is forecast to generate e-commerce revenues reaching 14.8 billion U.S. dollars by 2027.
Wine in the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom ranks among the top five wine-consuming countries in the world.
