Fortified Wine is a wine that has been fortified with a distilled spirit/liquor, such as brandy, whisky, or rum. The presence of such liquors in fortified wines imparts a distinct flavor and aroma that distinguishes them from regular wines. In addition, fortified wine is made by combining distilled spirits with wine during or after fermentation, and it is available in both dry and sweet varieties. Furthermore, fortified wine, like regular wine, also provide a variety of health benefits, including high antioxidant levels, support for heart health, and protection against chronic disease, including cancer.
According to this analysis, the Global Fortified Wine Market was valued at ~US$ 10 billion in 2017. Furthermore, owing to the increasing alcohol socialization among consumers along with the increasing adoption of European culture, it is estimated to be ~US$ 13 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach a market size of ~US$ 20 billion by 2028 growing with CAGR of ~7% during 2022 to 2028.
Rapid socioeconomic changes and urbanization are propelling demand for premium alcoholic drinks, including wines across countries.
Wine is an integral part of Western culture and is disseminated globally, particularly in Asian countries, which is supporting the market's exponential rise.
The presence of high sugar and calorie content in fortified wines may stifle the market growth of fortified wine.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented drop in the global wine trade in 2020, due to the lockdowns imposed by several governments across countries, which have halted wine production. Furthermore, extensive closures of restaurants and bars, as well as the restrictions on socializing have lowered the sales of fortified wine.
By Distribution Channel: The Liquor Stores segment held the largest share of the Global Fortified Wine Market in 2021, owing to the increased number of liquor stores across countries, where individuals can easily seek wines.
The availability of a wide range of products under numerous brands at lower prices in liquor stores than in bars, restaurants, nightclubs, hotels, and other on-trade channels is also driving the market growth of liquor stores.
Furthermore, the segment is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period (2022-2028), owing to the improved alcohol distribution channel network globally.
By Body Type: The Full Body segment held the largest share of the Global Fortified Wine Market in 2021, as the majority of red wines fall into this category, which is the most widely purchased wine by individuals among others, including rose and white.
Another growth factor is the presence of alcohol levels and certain substances, such as antioxidants in red wine, which help in the prevention of coronary artery disease, leading to heart attacks.
Furthermore, unlike light or medium-bodied wines, full-bodied wines have low acidity levels that prevent gastric acid secretion and gastrin release, as well as a high alcohol content that is frequently used in cocktail making.
By Geography: Europe accounted for the largest share of the Global Fortified Wine Market in 2021 and will remain dominant in the forecast period (2022-2028).
The growth is primarily attributed to the fact that Europe is the world's leading producer of wine, with vermouth, the most prominent fortified wine, being produced primarily in Italy, followed by sherry wine in Spain and port wine in Portugal.
The increasing consumption of wine in countries like Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal is expected to drive the market in this region.
