Wine in Italy Articles

There is no question that wine is synonymous with Italy. Making wine in Italy is like breathing - it is sewn into the fabric of Italian life. There are 900,000 registered vineyards scattered throughout Italy. Italy is the number one wine-producing country in the world and Italians consume an average of 14.5 gallons of wine per person, per year, making them third in the world for consumption. For years, Italian wines were considered not much more than table wines but they have come into their own in recent years. No visit to Italy is complete without experiencing Italian wine at the source - the vineyard.
