(Decanter) - Record Cava exports have brightened up the Spanish sparkling wine's bleak domestic market in 2011.Cava producers sold a record breaking 152 million bottles to foreign markets in 2011 – a 2% increase over 2010 - but poor domestic sales were mainly to blame for a 2% fall in overall sales in 2011. Taking into consideration current economic conditions, the Cava regulatory board chairman, Gustavo García Guillamet, said 'it is very positive to claim that cava sales achieved a record figure in the foreign market'.
