• According to a survey carried out by Pan American Health Organization in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2020, the consumption of alcoholic beverages decreased between the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic (March to June 2020) for both women and men by 15.2% and 13.1% respectively, when compared to 2019. It could be partly explained by the distancing measures implemented by governments to limit the spread of COVID-19. During that period, various establishments where people usually drink, such as bars and night clubs were closed, parties and gatherings were not allowed, and in some places, even sales of alcoholic beverages were prohibited.
• According to Pan American Health Organization, wine gained popularity during the pandemic, with the share of consumers increasing by 7.5% during the period (March to June 2020) analyzed in 2020, compared to 2019. At the same time, the beer and spirits share of consumers went down by 3.6% and 3.5%, respectively. But after the pandemic, it is expected that sales will rebound back to the pre-COVID-19 level.
• According to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine, Argentina and Chile remained the top producer and exporters of wine across Latin America in 2020.
