How the hell is Singapore the biggest exporter? Where are the vineyards?
I think it's all re-exports. Probably they import a lot of european, australian etc. products and re-sell them to asian markets.
Edit: Yes, this indeed seems to be the case. Growing local consumption has created local market and favorable businesses environment has made Singapore sort of a gateway or hub for wine export business in Asia. Interesting case.
That makes sense! Thanks for answering ✌️
And Netherlands the largest flower exporter
Similar to how Ireland is one of the biggest exporters of bananas
In that case, the graph would make more sense if it was "Exports - Imports"
I had similar thoughts about UK, Netherlands and Latvia.
With climate change, the south of England is increasingly becoming more suitable for wine production. Most of the sector's growth has come in the last few years alone.
I have trouble believing the UK is making and exporting more wine than Argentina based on "the last few years" of growth. Re-exporting makes a lot more sense.
I expect at the moment the UK has a hobby industry... which is fine and respectable.
And... for what it's worth, the OEC reports British wine exports as worth 51M pounds in 2020... which sounds a lot more correct for what you've described than $837M in 2019.

I believe a great deal of Australian wine moves through the UK to Northern Hemisphere. We're their largest export market. As popular as Aussie wine is here, I don't think it could account for 36% of their total production.
Wondering if the dominance of London auction houses in the high-end wine collector market might also contribute. Don't need to sell many cases of six-figure bottles to wealthy overseas buyers to push up the tally considerably.
No doubt total 'Wine Production by Country' would give a very different map. With some surprising additions.
Even Norway is still on the list.
Reminds me of the Beatles song: Norwegian Wine ...
Latvia is huge in beer production, so I'm not surprised about wine
Me a French : You suckers, France number One
I want to have a glass of wine now.
Can't see how the UK exports that much wine. Except maybe they mean the famous buckfast tonic wine, which is basically kerosene for the soul.
Is Austria’s total before or after they’ve diluted it with diethylene glycol
It’s measured in currency, so let’s say after.
Will be interesting to see how climate change impacts this over the next decade.
Yeah that is currently one of the factors leading to the growth of winemaking in the UK but it’ll be interesting to see if it spreads to other traditionally cooler countries too
I’m British and was at a party in Paris, I joked that champagne might have to be made in Newcastle in a few years. One woman nearly choked on her drink. It’s funny but French wine makers are buying up huge tracts of land in southern England.
It’s not entirely unsurprising as some of the places they tend to make red wine in France are unfortunately becoming too hot for it now, while Southern England has become warm enough to make decent white and sparkling wines
There are plenty of regions in the world that are hotter than Southern France and that make very good wines. They'll have to change the grape varieties they're using, perhaps, but they'll continue to make wine, regardless of climate change. Some regions that are already at the limit of growing vines, however, might have a problem.
Biggest wine region in Australia is probably Barossa valley outside Adelaide. It gets VERY hot in Adelaide over summer yet they make wonderful reds. Big production in Victoria as well, and temperatures also go well above 40 in some places.
It’s not that it’s impossible but becoming less productive and on a downwards trend as temperatures increase
Sparkling wine maybe, but champagne can only be labelled as such if it’s from the champagne region of France
I live in Leeds and there’s a vineyard about 8 miles away from here.
A few years ago northern Italy got hit by a really deep cold snap inthe middle of June. To avoid an agricultural disaster, farmers had to start little camp fires in their vineyards to keep the grapes from freezing. In June. In Italy. IN JUNE.
Crikey.
Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan having their outline with the European countries but being listed with the Asian countries makes me perhaps a bit too annoyed.
Blows my mind that the UK is exporting a quarter of the amount of wine that Spain is. Is it re-exports?
Buckfast?!
Was thinking that, apparently £43m last year.
Can be that much of an export market? Though just read apparently it's very popular in the Caribbean mixed with coconut...
I’m surprised Canada doesn’t export much wine, they make a lot of it now. Guess it’s all for domestic use.
Washington State alone produces more than 3 times as much wine as Canada.
Canada is 28th globally.
Same with India and Slovenia. Big internal consumption
Because wine grown here is mediocre at best.
UK seems high and South Africa seems low.
Greece and Turkey should be more and more bigger in this map as other Mediterranean countries. Their climate and topography very suitable for grape cultivation
Croissants, assemble
For a country that relies mostly on several hundred amateur farms I think the Dutch do have a high export value, I thought most of ours is consumed locally...
Fun Fact: While we were holidaying in Chile, a guide told us, with not a little pride, "Chile produces the world's best sub-$10 Merlot"
Is that what the kids call a weird flex?
An Australian with a Goon bag will have something to say about that.
Nothing hurts the elitism within the wine industry more than an Australian drinking high quality wine from his goon.
