Figures to December 2015 show that sales of Italian wine continue to increase their market share in Ireland. The enormous success of Italian wines styles such as Pinot Grigio and Prosecco has helped to create greater awareness with the Irish consumer for a whole range of Italian wine styles. Sales of Italian wines have increased from 438,000 cases (5.5%) in 2008 to 613,679 (11.6%) of the Irish market in 2015. (Source IWA Sept 2016).
