New York CNN —Champagne sales have lost some of their pop in 2023 following a few record-breaking years of sales spurred by the end of Covid-19 lockdowns.
That marks nearly a return to pre-Covid levels in 2019, when 297.3 million bottles were shipped.
During its peak in 2022, sales soared by 33%, when 325 million bottles were shipped.
The name Champagne is exclusively reserved for wines harvested and produced by 16,200 growers on 34,300 hectares northeast of Paris.
This cost France a total of roughly $2 billion in sales, a recent report said.
