Vinetur reports that the United States accounted for roughly 59% of the decline in Italian wine export value during the first five months of 2026. Italian wine exports to the US fell 15.4% to €709 million, while volumes dropped 6%, meaning producers lost about €129.1 million in revenue compared with the same period last year, while worldwide Italian wine exports fell 6.86% to €2.98 billion. The figures also indicate falling revenue per litre in America, making the US downturn considerably more damaging than the softer declines recorded in markets such as Germany and Britain.
