World's largest wine consumers

*. France, US - both 12% *. Italy, China - both 9% *. Germany - 8% *. UK, Russia - both 5% *. Spain, Argentina - both 4% *. Source: Morgan Stanley The report by Morgan Stanley's analysts Tom Kierath and Crystal Wang says global wine consumption has been rising since 1996 (except a drop in 2008-09), and presently stands at about 3bn cases per year.

No cement, just local limestone cut into large, heavy slabs calledchiancarelle- carefully positioned to make the perfect water-tight structure. It is said that back in the 1600s, when there was a tax on new buildings, the locals built trulli so they could be dis...
