Countries that Produce the Most Wine

Cool quiz. I got all except south africa, serbia, and ukraine

dammit! missed argentina, brazil, chile. running out of time, i looked at the list and started randomly guessing european countries. since i love tennis, as you know if you know my user name, i correctly guessed serbia: djokovic and ukraine(my favorite player): dolgopolov. go 9 year old! ( that would be me)

They say much worse things than that. How old are you?

I forget what I was responding to. I think someone commented that he wasn't aware that 9 year olds said "dammit"

Ukraine isn't on the list Brickster.

List changes.

Parkinson's law of triviality, also known as "bikeshedding", argues that organizations give disproportionate weight to trivial issues because they are easy to understand. For example, if a proposed solar power plant includes plans for an employee bike shed, then there will be a lots of debate about the bike shed while the complicated engineering issues are overlooked.

*good glasses

Cool! I got all but Hungary...so close!

fackwacker , well that makes sense considering Canada doesn't do a lot of grape growing...

Serbia? Oh dang!

YAY! 90% on this quiz :) missed out on Serbia and Romania. Good to see, my country, Australia there :D

Missed South Africa, Romania, Ukraine & Serbia. Not bad anyway

Argentina makes more wine than China!!

Major headdesk! I forgot about Australia!

Great quiz!

Some surprising data! Why not trying this one: http://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/106634/top-world-cork-producers

I missed South Africa, Brazil, Austria, and Ukraine. Not bad since I don't really drink wine.

I'm an idiot for missing Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and i cant believe that i missed Hungary, i tried every European country, just not Hungary.

I got Serbia, because i live there ;)

Missed Germany and Portugal. That is me being an idiot. Missed Argentina. That is me typing EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN SOUTH AMERICA! The right name just never popped into my head, other than Chile whiich I knew.

20/20. Serbia and Ukraine were tricky, I just tried every european country and finally got them but... On the other hand, South Africa, Australia, Argentina were pretty obvious. I thought Japan would be on the list but maybe it's too cold there ?

Yay! Got them all from the first try and with a 1:04 left.

Everyone is happy for you, Maya.

Why is wine production measured by weight and not by volume? And who is weighing this wine? I imagine if you asked any winery how much wine they made last year they would tell you in volume.

19/20. Missed Hungary.

Why not trying mine about the top beer producing countries?

they did already an alcohol alreadu

I am surprised Israel is not on the list....

Though they grow a lot of wine in Israel, it is a tiny country. It's a lot more surprising to me that Georgia doesn't make it. I thought for sure they would at least edge out Hungary or Serbia.

Lots of high mountains, so a large part of Georgia is unsuitable for wine production.

Where's Somalia and Cape Verde?

In Africa.

uH

Missed South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand

*FACEPALM*

Why do I miss such obvious countries..........

How did I miss Spain!!

I missed USA... also serbia and bulgaria, but come on!

Mexico produce the best wine in the American continent and also has the oldest wine factory in the Americas in the town of Parral, Coahuila. Interesting fact ;)

I'll take you at your word about the oldest "wine factory". But the first part of your statement is definitely not a fact - it's your opinion.

Took ages to get Ukraine but eventually got them all.

20/20 with a lot of guessing!

Same :)

Since last year, Spain is the biggest producer of wine, so this list needs to be updated since it's from 2013.

Romania isn't here anymore. On Wikipedia, it still is. What's going on here?

why isn't romania here i'm 100% it's on this list

What is the source? Because Argentina is the 5th producer of wine, Spain is 3rd and USA 4th. And Italy dominates the ranking actually.

Wow... No Romania?

Noone else is surprised Iran is not on the list?

No.

Heard of Shiraz wine? Iranian christians and zoroastrians are allowed to brew wine for cultural reasons

I expected to see Iran too, although I'm not quite sure why

Surprisingly UK wine growing is really booming. I believe over a million more vines are going in this year and the production last year was almost 5 million litres.

So I guess Moldova has overtaken Ukraine in wine production since the quiz was originally published. Moldova, hmm.

In ex-USSR Moldovan wine is the most famous after Georgian.

NOOO, I guessed Romania, then i was about to guess Moldova, but I ran out of time, I am soo mad right now. Ahhhhhh!!

I've never liked wine. To me it tastes like fermented grape juice. :)

I see what you did there.

I like it more than I like beer but it's still not something I'd enjoy drinking.

100%!!! YES!

I was trying to find a better, more recent source, but I couldn't. Bulgaria would be in the TOP 20 in 2018.

Is this only grapewine then?

Otherwise it isnt wine right..

Ever heard of mead? Honey-wine. Or sake? Rice wine.

I think "mead wine" is a phrase used by people who don't know what mead is. But rice wine is definitely a thing.

Stereotypes galore. XD

This quiz could benefit from having the answers divided per continent

Great idea. I've tried a lot of these, though not all. Don't hold out high hopes for Chinese wine - from what I've tried it is, charitably speaking, not great. Great Wall was the most common label. It was, at least, better than the local wine I tried in Vietnam. I mainly subsist on southern hemisphere wines, living in Australia, so despite the volume of production in Europe and the US, those are pretty rare for me. NZ pinots (Central Otago) and sauv blancs (Marlborough) are big here, as well as local shiraz, cab sav and sauv blanc - particularly from the Barossa Valley region in South Australia and also the Margaret River over in Western Australia. Argentine and Chilean wines are widely available, but variety is lacking. Lots of Concha y Toro and other export oriented-oriented brands, rather than the more interesting stuff you'd find in the Elqui Valley or around Mendoza, which has a great variety of delicious Malbecs.

Mainly due to politics/protectionism, it is very hard to get any decent quantity of ag produce into the EU for non-members

Moldova got me. I know they're fond of their wine and I guessed neighbouring Romania, but I just assumed they'd be too small to make the list.

Same. Silly us.

Finished with 1 second left.

Missed greece.

Might have something to do with the spread. I have rarely seen Greek wine anywhere (outside Greece) and the only two I have tried had tar or resin or something like that mixed in there. It's, you could say, an acquired taste.

Nope. I do as well. What is a statistician to do if he doesn't have any statistics?

they don't produce much else other than wine

Great quiz! How many countries' wines have you enjoyed? It seems the traditional European wine countries' brands dominate here - in Finland, with some exceptions.

It would be interesting to see amount of wine produced per area.

I'm 12 and I got 16! Pretty happy with that. I missed only Hungary, Moldova, Austria and Greece. Not sure how I missed the latter.

I have a complaint, not a biggie but nevertheless...

When a source is listed in the description, it's a tad annoying when it's just the word "Source" with a hyperlink. Much more useful would be to actually use the name of the source as the hyperlink text.

It would look more professional, too.

👍🏻

I would look at Chinese wine)

Living surrounded by vineyards and knowing how much we drink, it is craty to think that Moldova is making more wine than we do in Switzerland. I guess we are really that small
