Market Overview
The Global fortified wine market is expected to register a CAGR of 5.01% during the forecast period, 2019 - 2024.
Fortified wines are blends of grapes and various vintages, and the majority of the fortified wines are similar in their classification. The actual aging of the fortified wine depends upon the fortified wine itself, and it is found that the cheaper the fortified wine lesser is the time it has taken aging in the oak.
COVID-19 made a major impact on the wine industry due to the forced closure of on-trade wineries in various countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, India, and almost across the globe to control the impact of the pandemic.
The fortified wine market is especially driven by the growing trend of alcohol consumption in developing countries. The growth of the fortified wine market is also affected by seasonal variations, owing to the production of grapes. Consequently, the prices of grapes also affect the prices of fortified wines. Macro-economic factors like improved disposable income are also boosting the growth of the fortified wine market in developing countries.
The premiumization aspect of alcoholic drinks has also been significant and evident in the fortified wine industry. Companies are targeting the emerging and influential economic class of the population, owing to their higher discretionary spending on such products.

North America Holds the Largest Share
Fortified wines are some of the fastest-growing varieties of alcoholic beverages in the United States market, as they offer customers additional unique options and choices. The emergence of single-spirit bars has also prompted the growth of fortified wines in the country.

The low product awareness of newly introduced and tweaked versions of fortified wines has been impeding the growth. Companies have embarked on higher brand recognition through aggressive branding campaigns and social media promotions. Fortified wine has also been considered an ideal cocktail ingredient. The bartenders have reported that port, vermouth, and sherry offer many characteristics that make them attractive for mixing.
Additionally, these wines exhibit enough natural sweetness to replace the simple syrup commonly used in cocktails. Over the past five years, Sherry fortified wines have seen a significant revival in the United States. The demand for Portugal’s authentic style of fortified wines is particularly evident.
