Based on: Ongoing Event
LVMH's Wines & Spirits segment (Hennessy, Moët & Chandon, Dom Pérignon) posted an organic decline of ~–6% YoY in Q1 2026, driven by persistently weak Chinese cognac demand (EU-China tariff dispute) and normalising post-pandemic US spirits consumption. Structural headwinds persist in Q3 2026: Chinese retaliatory tariffs on cognac remain in force; the US premium spirits market shows only modest growth. Pernod Ricard and Rémy Cointreau show the same sector-wide negative trajectory.
Data basis for this prediction
- LVMH Q1 2026 Umsatz-Update: Weine & Spirituosen –6 % organisch – LVMH IR (April 2026)
- Rémy Cointreau & Pernod Ricard Q2 2026 Updates: sektorweiter Rückgang – Bloomberg (August 2026)
- EU-China Cognac-Zollstreit: Retaliationszölle weiterhin aktiv – Reuters (September 2026)

Rémy Cointreau published its H1 FY2026/27 result on October 27, 2026: organic growth of +2.9 percent YoY for April–September 2026 — 90 basis points above this forecast's threshold. The company confirmed its FY2026/27 guidance ('gradual return to organic growth'). Q2 FY2026/27 (Jul–Sep): Cognac up 12 percent YoY. FY2025/26 full year: +0.2 percent organic ('in line with targets', Rémy IR, June 3, 2026). Achieving above 2.0 percent for the full year only requires H2 (Oct 2026–Mar 2027) to avoid a complete collapse — the 90-basis-point H1 buffer provides substantial safety margin. Risks: US demand weakness, Chinese Cognac tariffs, macro slowdown. Supporting: Rémy Martin premiumization strategy, confirmed guidance, strong Q2 momentum.

After the record of 322 million bottles (2021), Champagne shipments are in structural decline: ~319 million in 2022, ~299 million in 2023 (CIVC). Continued luxury weakness in China (export volume –27% YoY H1 2026), rising input costs, and saturated key markets (USA, France, UK) point to further contraction. At –5 to –7% p.a. decline (2022–2025 trend), 2026 volume would be approximately 262–271 million bottles — well below the 280 million threshold. No prediction market signal available. Confirmed via CIVC annual report or Reuters by January 31, 2027.
