This forecast, published in the VINEXPO 2005 study, is turning out to be correct. In 2012, the U.S. will become the world’s leading market for the consumption of still light wines, ahead of Italy and France.
Between 2010 and 2014, still light wine consumption is expected to increase by 9.35% in the U.S., while it will decrease by 0.82% in the same period in Italy, which was the leading consumer in 2010. In France meanwhile, consumption is forecast to fall by 4.06%, but the country will maintain its position of third largest consumer. (Vinexpo – The IWSR / 17 January 2011)
