Last Year, the United States had officially become the largest consumer of wine as a country, beating France in total volume consumed as a country. The U.S. population consumed 2.9 billion liters of wine in 2024, an increase of 0.5% from 2024, compared to 2.8 billion liters consumed by the French population that same year, a decrease of 7% from 2024.
