On September 4, 1545 Pedro de Valdivia wrote to King Charles V of Spain asking for "vines and wines to evangelize Chile", thus initiating the country's wine tradition. For this reason, Chilean wine day is celebrated on that date, commemorating an industry that has achieved worldwide notoriety. In this context, do you know which is the largest wine producer in the world?
ANSWER
Italy. With 49.8 million hectoliters, this European country is responsible for 19.3% of global wine production. It is followed by France, with 17.65%, and Spain, with 13.82%. Chile is in sixth place, with 4.82% of world production, followed by Argentina, with 4.43%.
