As Americans’ taste for wine continues to rise, so has the US market for the libation which soared ahead of France as the world’s largest wine market last year, according to the Beverage Information & Insights Group.
According to the group’s recent 2014 Wine Handbook, the wine category increased 1.9 percent last year to 325.4 million 9-liter cases. Production and consumption levels were also at an all-time high.
