Foreign exchange for the wine industry
Managing your foreign exchange exposure to maximise profits
2 minute readBuying and selling wine internationally often results in dealing with a wide range of currencies and foreign exchange rates. From orders, supplier payments, deliveries and more, payments and transactions require expert handling and care.
How foreign exchange can affect the wine industry
Wine is a globalised industry, with wine makers and vineyards relying on the international supply chain and on import and export. As the industry continues to grow across the world, so too does the area for wine companies to expand into.
Businesses that need to make multiple and regular global payments can naturally incur significant costs, depending on the FX provider they utilise. In addition, an ever-changing exchange rate can have a huge impact on the value of payments throughout the year.
As a result, understanding the exposure and risk that your company faces, and knowing how to navigate the foreign exchange market, can have a significant effect on the profits you enjoy.
