In a surprising revelation, North Korea has emerged as a major importer of wine from China. Despite its isolated status, Kim Jong-un’s regime has managed to secure a significant share of China’s wine exports. Recent data shows that North Korea ranks second in volume among China’s export destinations, importing an impressive 233,245 litres of wine. This figure is surpassed only by Hong Kong, a well-established wine trading hub.
The fact that North Korea has managed to become such a prominent importer of Chinese wine raises intriguing questions about the country’s trade relationships and the preferences of its elite class.
