The ongoing weakness of the euro in the global currency markets has proved a boon for makers of wine and spirits in France, according to figures released by the Fédération des Exportateurs de Vins et Spiritueux de France.
Exports in 2015 grew 8.7% in value to hit some £9.2 billion, the FEVS reported.
That is a turnaround from 2014, when both value and volumes fell back 2.8%.
Export volumes, however, continued their slide in 2015 and were down 3.6% on 2014.
France's share of the international wine market has collapsed by almost 50% in volume since 2000, and by around 30% in value.
The data contained good news for producers of Champagne and cognac, both of which posted strong year-on-year value and volume growth.
Champagne was up 12.1% to £2.1 billion in 2015, with volumes expanding by 4.8%.
Growth of cognac was even stronger, rocketing 19.6% to £2 billion.
Volumes of cognac being exported rose by 9.4%.
There was good news too in exports to China, which were up 23% in value at £653 million and 19% in volume.
France accounts for some 42% of all wine imports into China, and China is France's fourth most important export market by value.
Although the Chinese drinks market contracted sharply in 2013 following a government crack-down on corruption and expense-account entertaining among government officials and the subsequent destocking of imports by distributors, analysts Mintel are predicting steady 5% growth through to the end of the decade.
The US remains France's most significant export market, and sales there were execptionally strong across 2015, rising by 28.1% to hit £2 billion.
