The global enotourism market is primarily driven by an increase in the number of people who drink wine and see it as a kind of social recognition. Wine is primarily consumed by certain segments of the population because wine is not affordable. Furthermore, rise in government rules and regulations, as well as the imposition of taxes, are impeding the expansion of the global market.

COVID-19 has the potential to have three effects on the global economy which has direct impact on the production and demand, disrupting supply chains and markets, and having a financial impact on businesses and financial markets. The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact, resulting in flight cancellations, travel bans and quarantines, restaurant closures, and a ban on all events across forty countries.

Hence, the overall impact of COVID-19 on enotourism market was negative.

Increase in the wine consumption of consumers has been a major driver for the market.

Thus, the demand for wine decreased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
