The study by Bounce analysed factors such as the overall number of litres consumed by each country, along with how many litres on average a person consumes, to reveal the top 10 countries with the highest wine consumption worldwide.

Portugal consumes 600 million litres of wine a year, which is less than nations such as France and Italy overall, but the most when measured per person at 58 litres.

Wine is an integral part of Portuguese culture, with a long history of winemaking that stretches back thousands of years and this puts Portugal as the leading consumer of wine in the world.

Italy is known as the birthplace of some of the world's most celebrated wines, with a vinicultural history spanning thousands of years, back to ancient civilizations. The country has the largest wine production, perhaps making it no shock that 39 litres per person are consumed, putting Italy in second place.

In third place is France, another country known for its winemaking and considered one of the most influential and prestigious wine-producing countries in the world. French wines have consistently been regarded among the greatest, so naturally it's taken advantage of with 37 litres of wine consumed per person, placing France 3rd position.
