About 322m bottles sold, up 32% from previous year despite impact of Covid on bars and restaurants
French champagne sales rebounded last year to a record €5.5bn (£4.6bn) as demand soared despite the lingering impact of Covid restrictions that weighed on restaurants and bars, producers have said.
About 322m bottles were sold in 2021, up 32% from the previous year, when shipments slumped 20% during Covid lockdowns worldwide, the Comité Champagne trade association said in its preliminary estimates.
