How much wine does the UK import from Italy?

The stolen €5m worth of wine is a huge sum, considering the UK imported around £3.5m (€4m) worth of Italian wine in 2023. This single theft represents a significant portion of that annual trade, highlighting the scale of the loss for Marchesi Antinori and the wider industry.
