Abstract: Abstract The European Union’s (EU) agricultural sector faces a number of challenges due to climate changes and depopulation of rural areas, which affects biodiversity, land and water quality, and food supply. For those reasons, the agricultural sector and agricultural policy, which have been constantly changing in the recent decades to tackle existing challenges, attract the attention of scientists and the public. The wine sector is an important segment of the EU agriculture. The EU, as a world leader in the wine industry with 65% of the world wine production, 60% of global consumption, and 70% of exports, under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) focuses on improving the competitiveness of the wine sector. Since the New World countries entered the EU market, maintaining and increasing wine sector competitiveness has become more important than ever. The main goal of this paper is to analyse how tax and agricultural policies affect the EU wine sector competitiveness. The empirical research was conducted on the panel data on wine production, consumption, exports, excise duties on wine, and VAT for 15 selected EU Member States, for the period 2005–2019. We estimated the econometric fixed-effect model. Our results indicate that tax and agricultural policy have an impact on the wine sector competitiveness.
