2007 was a great year for the champagne business, the sales of the sparkling wine rose worldwide.
France is the best-selling country when it comes to champagne: 188 million bottles were sold last year.
But Belgium can definitely compete with those results: However it’s a pretty small country, 10 million bottles were sold in 2007 and with that result, Belgium has reached the top five in worldwide champagne sales!
But the expectations for next year are less bright: caused by slacking economic circumstances and the financial crisis, people will probably act more price-conscious and luxury products (champagne, among others) may be replaced by cheaper equivalents.
