Total Wine Imports in 2022: $1.87 billion

While Japan has its own domestic vineyards and wineries, it is safe to say that imported wine is very popular. Since 2014, Chilean wines have continued to take the lead in the Land of the Rising Sun. This is in no small part thanks to a free trade agreement between Chile and Japan the very same year. This made Chilean wines more accessible and affordable, reaching a peak of almost 10 million cases sold in 2017. France has been consistently close behind, followed by Italy, Spain, Australia, and the U.S.A.
