Abstract:
This paper outlines statistical
benchmarks of the wine sector, globally and regionally, in the period
1995-2020, regarding: wine area and wine production. We chose units that represent
the representative territories in the field of viticulture, ten European
countries and one country from each non-European continent, with history and
tradition in the cultivation of vines. In the context of globalization
and outsourcing of the world wine market, we have outlined the place of the
European Union countries, implicitly of Romania on the world wine map. The bordering basin of the
Mediterranean Sea, represented by Spain, France and Italy, remains the main
viticultural nucleus both as the area cultivated with vines and as an
agricultural yield in the production of grapes and wine. The promotion of wine
on foreign markets is an opportunity of the moment, which requires financial
support funds, the inclusion of vineyards and wineries in the regional or local
tourist circuit, with a focus on indigenous varieties.
