HS v2022 Code: 2204

About wine of fresh grapes, including fortified wines; grape must other than that of heading no. 2009

HS code 2204 covers the production and trade of wine made from fresh grapes, including fortified wines. This industry is a significant contributor to the global economy, with wine being one of the most widely consumed alcoholic beverages worldwide. The production and export of wine are particularly important for many countries, providing employment, revenue, and cultural significance.

Production process

The production of wine under HS code 2204 involves several key steps. Grapes are harvested, crushed, and the juice is fermented to produce the base wine. Depending on the desired style, the wine may then undergo additional processing, such as aging in oak barrels, blending with other wines, or fortification with distilled spirits. The specific techniques used can vary greatly depending on the type of wine being produced.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the wine industry under HS code 2204 include fresh grapes, which are the primary raw material. Other key inputs include yeast for fermentation, oak barrels or other containers for aging, and various processing aids and additives. Winemakers also rely on specialized equipment, such as crushers, fermentation tanks, and bottling lines. The availability and quality of these inputs can significantly impact the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of the wine industry under HS code 2204 is, of course, wine itself. This can include a wide range of wine styles, from still wines to sparkling wines and fortified wines. The wine produced may be consumed directly or used as an input for other industries, such as 2208 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of less than 80% vol.; spirits, liqueurs and other spirituous beverages, where wine can be distilled into spirits.
