Spain is the biggest wine exporter.
 
This surprised me, from the Majorca Daily Bulletin

Quote:

Spain becomes the world’s biggest wine exporter.

Spain has become the world’s biggest wine exporter, with bottles of ‘cheap plonk’ flying off the shelves.
Last year, a massive 22 million hectolitres of Spanish vino was exported, outstripping both France and Italy.
However, sales revenues were down 2.2% because of bulk sales with small margins, despite a 22% rise in the volume shipped out.
Surprisingly, France is now the biggest buyer of Spanish wines, importing and bottling – often as French wine – 5.8m hectolitres in 2014, 40% up on the previous year.

For the non mathematical amongst us a Hectolitre is European for:

a "Heck of a lot" :D


(100 litres Hic Hic!!) :eek:

This is mainly because they have been over producing and have an enormous surplus of cheap wine that is being sold off:eek:

You would think Sparky would at least buy a half-glass then, to help out!!!!

Wine from the Area (I think)
 
I have been avidly reading all the trip reorts, which are all very interesting - making me jealous really.

However, one recurring theme seems to be a wine called Mortitx, which seems to be favoured by many. What is it, grape variety, price , etc please? Thanks.

Obviously
 
Long back I knew this fact that Spain is the largest exporter of wine
