Covid-19 and Brexit

New opportunities for the British market

Change in trends and consumer habits
Turning the public to emerging areas and rare varieties, a tendency to explore
Landscape changes on-off trade due to covid. HoReCa was significantly affected, many restaurants closed, new ones opened, off-trade strengthened (food retailers, wineries, s/m)
Redesigning the wine landscape, balances and agreements in the UK after Brexit. Space for new players and strategic collaborations
Greece's reputation is boosted by tourism, as is its economic position. Claiming a larger share of the UK wine market is easier under the new circumstances
