China becomes North Korea's largest wine importer, with export volume surging threefold

Foreign media: North Korea is one of the most isolated and most sanctioned countries in the world, but it is still a major destination for Chinese wine exports this year, as its options for obtaining alcoholic beverages are limited.

According to customs data, the amount of wine imported by North Korea from China increased significantly in 2025, with imports reaching 157,393 liters in the first seven months, more than double the same period last year, making it the second largest importer of bottled Chinese wine,仅次于 Hong Kong.

According to value, North Korea ranks fifth, with a total import value of $544,980, following Hong Kong, Singapore, Macau, and France.
