South Africa's wine exports fall 17 pct in 2023

CAPE TOWN, Jan. 29 (Xinhua) -- South Africa's wine exports declined 17 percent to 306 million liters in 2023, according to a recent industry report.

The latest export report published by industry body Wines of South Africa (WoSA) said total exports by value slumped 11 percent to 540 million U.S. dollars last year, though the depreciation of the country's currency meant export value in rand terms increased nearly 1 percent to 10 billion rand.
