Last year, alcohol imports fell in 10 years.
According to the National Tax Service and others, the amount of imported alcoholic beverages shipped last year was 466,000 ㎘, a 6% decrease from the previous year.

However, when Japan enforced export restrictions to Korea in July last year, it can be interpreted as being affected by a sharp drop in Japanese beer sales.
