Panama

Traditionally known for its rum and coffee, Panama has a burgeoning wine culture that has gained significant momentum in recent years. While the country does not have a domestic wine production industry, it has become a vibrant hub for wine enthusiasts, with a growing appreciation for both imported wines and locally produced fruit wines. Panama's strategic location and status as a free trade zone have facilitated the importation of wines from various countries. In 2018, the domestic wine market was valued at approximately $24.1 million USD, marking a substantial increase from $16.4 million in 2017.
