South Africa’s wine exports increased to $669-million in 2025, an increase of $21.5-million on 2024, but still $25-million short of 2022. The UK is the biggest export market for South Africa’s wine – 21% of the total value, or $143.8-million worth was shipped there.

Of the top five markets, exports to the Netherlands and Canada increased. The Netherlands overtook Germany as South Africa’s second biggest export destination. Canada jumped to fourth thanks to big decreases in exports to the US and Namibia.

The value of wine exports to the US has decreased every year since 2021, when they were $63.2-million. This year’s $31-million is half of that value.

Exports to China also decreased, they were $10.6-million in 2025, down from a $30.9-million in 2021.

Other notable increases in South Africa’s 20 biggest wine export markets were the United Arab Emirates, which reached $17.8-million in 2025, Zimbabwe, up to $23.6-million and Russia, which recovered to $6.5-million after falling for three years.
