South African Exports

I enjoy South African wines, especially their reds and my favorites are their Pinotages. Yet many local wine stores don't have a large selection of South African wines. I hope that more people start trying their wines and maybe then more stores will start selling them.

The Business Report has a new article discussing the current status of wine exports from South Africa. In 2006, South Africa had a small decrease in exports but 2007 has seen an increase. The biggest market for their wines is currently the United Kingdom. Much of the article discusses their inroads into the UK. Exports to their other important markets, Sweden, Denmark and North America, have also been increasing as well.

Let us hope this continues and our selection of South African wines continues to grow.
