For the fourth consecutive year, exports of Cognac have continued a steady increase.
The previous record number of bottles shipped (200 million) has been surpassed, with 205.9 million bottles exported between August 2017 and July 2018.
Contributing 3.2 billion euros (roughly 300 billion dollars) in revenue, Cognac makes a significant impact on France’s trade surplus in the wines and spirits sector. Cognac represents nearly a quarter of the total value of French wine and spirits exports.
