As you can see, in 2005, France was the biggest producer of wine, but only slightly producing more that year than Italy.
If you take the wine production of France and Italy in total for 2005, it is almost equal to the total production of wine from the next five important wine producing countries in the list.
The United Kingdom was 63rd in the world as a wine producing region in 2005 and produced 1,450 tonnes of wine.
Japan was 28th in the list in 2005, and produced 98,000 tonnes of wine.
