USA population 300 million.

Of course the nation that is 6 times bigger is going to drink more wine.

James, if you read the post, I addressed this issue, and although it does seem logical, note that currently Italy *does* purchase more wine than the US…the news is about projected figures in the future.

None of that homemade stuff is counted in this survey, but it definitely would be interesting to see how all the countries stack up in consumption!

Interestingly, as someone who's into wine, I've noticed that many of the major wine publications are putting out lots and reviews and articles about "value wines", or wines under $15/bottle. A lot of those are mass market wines, but some are small producers making wine from less famous places. What a cool opportunity to learn about a new place - picking up a bottle of wine from somewhere you'd like to explore. <strong><em>That *is* a great idea...I wonder if any of our Calabrian wines are in on that?
