National Drink Wine Day is fast approaching, landing four days after Valentine’s Day on February 18—which may be a strategic selection either for singles to wallow in wine or lovers to lavish each other with gifted bottles of vino.
At any rate, the numbers are in and the news is out on which countries drink the most wine in the world as per a 2016 study. All of the top 5 countries are in Europe, and the top two of them are actually amongst the smallest countries on the continent—but that doesn’t stop their residents from consuming the luxurious red, white, and rose alcohol.
With no further ado, here are the world’s top 5 consumers of wine:
1. Andorra
The tiny European principality consumed 4 million liters of wine amongst 69,000 residents, which equals about 76 bottles per person per year.
2. Vatican City
