To give you an example of how the wine production is growing in the world in different countries. As in sport, years ago the three leading countries in swimming to mention a sport were USA, Germany, Australia and Russia.
They usually took all the medals. Now they are still leading but another countries got into the game like South Africa, Spain, Canada, Japan, China, Latvia, Argentina, Brazil and too many others. In wine, have always been France, Italy and Spain.

The top 3 major wine regions of the world France, Italy and Spain they produce almost half of all the wine produced in the world.
We know that making wine is just not about good winemakers, it’s about a good land, climate and good grapes that match with their right land and climate.
Like Malbec were brought from France to Argentina years ago and they are more famous in Argentina than France because they settled better in Argentinian lands and climate.
So, to help you wrap your brain around the volume of wine they make:
Between These 3 countries together there is a population of 174 million and a total area of 1,448,000 km2. .
Just United States to not mention Argentina, Chile, Brazil or China has 326 million of population and a total area 9,833,520 km2. . So, that’s basically 6 times more in total area than France, Italy and Spain. So the passion for wine in these three countries is very solid.
