Piedmont’s Wine Treasures Return to Dublin for Barolo & Friends’ Third Edition

The Consorzio I Vini del Piemonte proudly announces its return to Ireland for the eagerly awaited third edition of Barolo & Friends Dublin. This premier tasting and promotional event is meticulously crafted to showcase the exquisite wines of Piedmont to a discerning Irish audience. Ireland, a dynamic market boasting nearly a decade of consistent economic growth, demonstrates an ever-increasing appreciation for Italian gastronomy and fine wines.

This initiative serves as a pivotal platform for both producers seeking new import partnerships and established brands aiming to fortify their presence in this strategically important European market. With no domestic wine production, Ireland’s entire wine market is reliant on imports. While the market has evolved over the past 50 years, it has experienced substantial growth since the 1990s. Notably, even during periods of economic turbulence, wine consumption has continued its upward trajectory. Currently, Italy holds the fifth position among leading wine importers in Ireland, with consumer preferences leaning towards red wines (46%), white wines (48%), and rosé wines (6%).

Why Ireland?

  • Sustained Market Expansion:
    • Italian wine exports to Ireland are experiencing robust growth, exemplified by a significant surge in 2024, with shipments increasing from 13.5 million to 16.5 million liters.
    • Per capita wine consumption continues to rise steadily. White wine remains the dominant category, followed by red. There is a marked preference for “Made in Italy” products and premium wines, such as those from the Piedmont region.
    • The sector’s business turnover has increased from 48.9 million to 58.5 million euros, marking a 20% growth. Italy currently commands approximately 10% of the Irish wine market.
