Predicted for 27. July 2026

Based on: Historical Cycle
Hennessy Cognac continues to be weighed down by Chinese punitive tariffs on European cognac (introduced in retaliation for EU EV tariffs), structurally weak consumer demand in China/APAC, and post-pandemic normalization. Reference: Rémy Cointreau reported –4.2% organic sales in H1 FY25/26, cognac segment –7.6% (Quartr, November 2025). LVMH Wines & Spirits (dominated by Hennessy) follows similar market trends. No direct Polymarket market for this segment; probability of organic decline >3% estimated at ~60%.
Data basis for this prediction
- Rémy Cointreau H1 FY25/26: Organisches Umsatzminus –4,2 %, Cognac –7,6 % (Quartr, Nov. 2025)

Rémy Cointreau published its H1 FY2026/27 result on October 27, 2026: organic growth of +2.9 percent YoY for April–September 2026 — 90 basis points above this forecast's threshold. The company confirmed its FY2026/27 guidance ('gradual return to organic growth'). Q2 FY2026/27 (Jul–Sep): Cognac up 12 percent YoY. FY2025/26 full year: +0.2 percent organic ('in line with targets', Rémy IR, June 3, 2026). Achieving above 2.0 percent for the full year only requires H2 (Oct 2026–Mar 2027) to avoid a complete collapse — the 90-basis-point H1 buffer provides substantial safety margin. Risks: US demand weakness, Chinese Cognac tariffs, macro slowdown. Supporting: Rémy Martin premiumization strategy, confirmed guidance, strong Q2 momentum.

After the record of 322 million bottles (2021), Champagne shipments are in structural decline: ~319 million in 2022, ~299 million in 2023 (CIVC). Continued luxury weakness in China (export volume –27% YoY H1 2026), rising input costs, and saturated key markets (USA, France, UK) point to further contraction. At –5 to –7% p.a. decline (2022–2025 trend), 2026 volume would be approximately 262–271 million bottles — well below the 280 million threshold. No prediction market signal available. Confirmed via CIVC annual report or Reuters by January 31, 2027.
