The Visegrad countired, as countries of a single grouping that have pledged to help each other and to deepen their trade with each other. These are the countries of the Slovak Republic, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The main objective of the article is to identify the overall level of trade of the Visegrad countries in the commodity wine and fresh grapes concerning the World, the Visegrad countries as a whole and the individual countries of the Visegrad country. The analysis shall take into account the monetary clarification of trade volumes in millions of euros. The commodity structure is based on the international HS system. The main analysis is carried out through the basic indicators of turnover, trade balance and RCA (Revealed Comparative Advantage). Hungary has a comparative advantage in the wine trade at the World level but also within the Visegrad countries. The Slovak Republic has both comparative advantages and comparative disadvantages within the World and the Visegrad countries, but most of all with the Czech Republic and Poland. The Czech Republic showed comparative advantages only with Poland. Poland has no comparative advantages with any of the Visegrad countries.
