Wine production since 1995

According to the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) as reported by Statista, Italy has been the world’s largest wine producer for 9 of the past 10 years with an annual production of roughly 50 million hectoliters or five billion liters. France holds its ground against Italy with an average annual production of around 45 million hectoliters over the past decade. Spain completes the triumvirate of European wine superpowers, with everyone else trailing far behind. 

Today, a report was issued for the 2023 harvest in GB, the best yield ever. Although it's impossible to gather exactly what the wine production was from this self-reported survey, they have 3,400 ha planted today with a yield of 30.1 hectolitres per hectare (hl-ha) this year, which would result in a total yield of 102,340 hl compared with 48M for Italy. They expect it to more than double by 2032. 

That's a drop in the very large bucket.
