U.S. Set To Become #1 Wine Consumer

According to UK-based company Wine Intelligence, the United States is set to become the world's number one wine consumer within a three-year period of time. The U.S. is a market with 73 million consumers, making it a prime target for expansion of the Spanish wine market. Currently, imports account for 28 percent of the U.S. wine market - not too bad when you consider that the U.S. is the fourth largest wine producer in the world (behind Italy, France, and Spain). Spanish imports, however, only account for 20 percent of all imported wines (Source: Wines From Spain). Boy, do we have some work to do. I'll do my best to keep you informed and introduce new wines, but you have to keep drinking them!
Life is short. Drink great wine!
