That dollar amount reflects an -11.3% reduction from the $7.37 billion that the US spent on overall wine imports 5 years earlier in 2021, and an -8% year-over-year setback from 2024 to 2025.
Wine is the world’s second-most popular alcoholic beverage behind beer but ahead of vodka. The beverage also called vino is also the seventh-most consumer drink on the planet. Wine trails water, tea, coffee, orange juice, beer and soft drinks.
One of America’s most popular types of imported wine are sparkling vintages made from fresh grapes. Sparkling wine comprised over a quarter (25.9 percent) of all US purchases of imported wine in 2025.
Sales of foreign-made sparkling wines to the US decreased by -11.1% since 2021 and decelerated by -4.6% from 2024 to 2025.
From a continent perspective, over four-fifths (80.5%) of US global purchases of imported wine came from exporters in Europe. Wines from Europe are also known as Old World Wines.
In second place were suppliers in Oceania (11.3%) mostly New Zealand and Australia. Wines from comparatively younger countries like New Zealand, Australia and the United States are called New World Wines.
Smaller percentages were shipped from Latin America (5.8%) excluding Mexico, North America (1.1%), Asia (0.8%) and Africa (0.5%).
