Now more than one-third of all wine consumed globally is produced in another country, and Europe's dominance of global wine trade has been greatly diminished by the surge of exports from 'New World' producers. This latest edition of global wine statistics therefore not only updates data to 2009 and revises past data, but also expands on earlier editions in a number of ways.

"The first edition of this ground-breaking book (to 2001) was an indispensible part of my reference library, its pages festooned with post-it markers. The rate and amount of change in global wine markets since then could not have been envisioned by the authors (or anyone else), so while this is technically a second edition, it is to all intents and purposes a new work, every bit as indispensible as the first edition.'"
