Overall figures are down, but Kathleen Willcox has uncovered some glimmers of promise in the latest US market data.

In the nine months so far this year, the domestic selling price of domestic wine has risen by 7 percent to HUF 31,700 (EUR 1 = HUF 407) per hectoliter (1 hectoliter = 100 liters) compared to the same period last year, the Institute of Agricultural Economics (AKI) said. Among the higher quality wines with geographical indications, the processing price of white wines rose by almost 13 percent to HUF 30,200 per hectoliter, while the price of red and rosé wines increased by almost 15 percent to HUF 36,700 per hectoliter.

The European Union has registered the new Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) for “Urbezo” wine and its registration in the register of protected geographical indications. The regulation has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union (OJEU). With this approval, “Urbezo” becomes the 104th PDO in Spain and the sixth in the Autonomous Community of Aragon. In addition, it is the 26th wine from the “Urbezo” wine estate recognised by the European Union and the second from Aragon to obtain such a distinction.
