Which country has the most land under vine? Also which country produces the largest quantity of wine?

Lots of different answers here.



The worlds largest wine producer is Italy, followed by France, Italy, Spain, USA and Australia. The first 3 account for just over 50% of entire world wine production.



Most land under vines is dificult, and not too meaningful as grape vines can be planted very close or far apart, but its likely to be Italy as Italy produces the most grapes, followed by France and USA.



But not all these grapes are used to make wine. Some go to making brandy or for food, fruit juices, jelly and sweetening in other products, hence the discrepency between production of grapes and wine



These figures come Organisation Internationale de la Vigne et du Vin (OIV) and can be seen at http://www.winebiz.com.au/statistics/wor...





(the person who said South Africa may not realise although the country is huge, wine is grown only in a relatively small area at the very southern tip. Much of SA is unsuitable for wine growing.)

You might believe it, but the stats say differently Report It
Reply:Probably South Africa.

Australia %26amp; California are also big ,

And getting better by the year.



France cant produce half the wine ,

they say they do







Should be easy to get numbers on the internet
Reply:france or the usa. followed by australia
Reply:many think france, but its italy.
Reply:Highest percentage of total land is Italy, but the highest acreage under cultivation is in Australia. The US produces the most, though, because most mass market wines (gallon Jug'o'wine, Box'o'wine) are produced there.
Reply:i know here in Australia we produce a lot of grapes/wine we export a lot of it. I'm not sure that we are the biggest producer but we should be up there. our climate makes it possible to grow most forms of grape for heat loving Shiraz to the mellowest pinos
Reply:germany z da largest vine producer.....
