Global wine consumption fell in 2014, but shows signs of “stabilisation”, OIV says

Global wine consumption has dropped slightly in the last year, according to the latest figures from the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) – but overall there are signs of stabilisation. Speaking at the launch of the OIV’s global state of conditions report, Jean Marie Aurand, director general, said consumption had dropped by under one per cent to 2.4mhL compared to 2013, with the 2014 figures estimated to be 240mhL.
