Bloomberg reports a significant 182% increase in champagne shipments from France to Russia via Turkey in the past year, with Turkey's overall champagne imports also rising by 120%. However, despite this trend, Comite Champagne has not received any certificate requests for champagne shipments to Russia from manufacturers since the start of the Ukraine operation. The EU has prohibited the export of champagne to Russia if the bottle price exceeds 300 euros, yet Russia's champagne imports have dropped from the 13th to the 38th largest globally within a year.
