The most important partner countries for importing Russian wine in 2025, considering export volume and value, are not explicitly listed in the available search results. However, there is no direct data indicating major importers of Russian wine by volume or value in 2025 from the provided sources.

In conclusion, the Russian wine industry has shown strong growth in 2025, with significant increases in both volume and value of exports. The Chinese and Kazakhstani markets have emerged as key players in the export of Russian wine, while Belarus and Turkey also play important roles. Despite the lack of information regarding major importers in 2025, it is clear that the Russian wine industry is on the rise.
