Global leading countries in wine export 2022, based on volume
Spanish wine
Despite having the most area of land utilized for wine production in the world, Spain is the third overall wine producer by volume. In 2022, the country produced 35.7 million hectoliters, compared to production leader Italy’s 49.8. This discrepancy is due, at least in part, to the low yields of Spanish vines which are often planted in relatively dry and infertile soil.
Imports
Of the top three exporters, only France ranks in the top five of wine importing countries, receiving 6.5 million hectoliters=, at a value of 988 million euros in 2022.
