Sales of Cognac, which remains an overseas favorite, climbed 12 percent, down from the first half's 23 percent. France sold 1.7 billion euros worth of Cognac in the year.
Sales of wine from regions such as Languedoc, Bordeaux, Loire and Burgundy rose 8.9 percent in the year. The Burgundy region gained the most, with 21.5 percent. Bordeaux added 8.8 percent.
Volumes rose less than prices for most wines, the survey showed. Foreign consumers choose high-end products and seek out wines with simple labels that leave out detailed regional information, studies by a wine producers' association showed last year.
