In fact, just last week we took a look at the burgeoning wine industry in Albania. And of course, we have many countries, both large and small, making their own wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, there are three that always seem to lead the way when it comes to quality and popularity\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">France, Spain, and Italy!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s these three countries that constantly battle it out for the title of best and biggest wine exporter. And while the occasional interloper, such as the United States, occasionally tries to break up the pack, it\u2019s generally these three that stay at the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question we have is why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What makes the wines from these countries so special that they tend to outsell wines produced in any other country? We\u2019ve come up with a few reasons.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason #1 \u2013 The History<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick browse of the Xtrawine website will reveal that almost all of the Italian wines that we sell have a story behind them. There\u2019s a deep sense of history that permeates the industry, which is no surprise. People in Italy have been making wine for centuries. In fact, settlers in the land that would become Italy made wine in these regions before the concept of \u201cItaly\u201d even existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French wine industry has a similar depth of history, as does the Spanish. Both countries have producers that have been in the game for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And we believe this sense of history is of huge benefit to all three countries when it comes to the wines that they produce. Consumers like to know that the products they\u2019re committing their money to have stories behind them. They like to know that somebody has poured their soul into making the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And they especially like to see an industry that\u2019s sustained itself for centuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s what they\u2019re getting with the French, Spanish, and Italian industries. Each has weathered centuries\u2019 worth of storms and still come out stronger on the other end. This speaks to the quality of the wines that they produce and the dedication of the people who produce them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compare this to a country like the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are many great American wines, the country simply doesn\u2019t have the same track record as our illustrious trio. America is hundreds of years behind in terms of the history of its wine industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that this history plays a huge role. But it\u2019s certainly not the only factor at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason #2 \u2013 The Established Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s think back to the Albanian wine industry that we mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this industry has existed for a quite a while, even if it\u2019s only in recent years that Albanian producers have dedicated themselves to quality. However, when compared to the French, Spanish, or Italian industries, the Albanian one is basically a baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the cases of the big three, the industries have existed for centuries. And while they naturally evolve over time, this means that all three countries have invested heavily into building infrastructure for these industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the wine industry of each is a major economic contributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also look at the relationships that producers have built over the centuries. There\u2019s simply more know-how when it comes to the business of selling wine in the big three than there is in any other country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That know-how manifests itself in superior marketing. It shows itself in the amazing distribution networks that these industries have set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And of course, you have the certification organisations that add an extra level of prestige.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The point we\u2019re making is that the big three succeed because they\u2019ve had centuries to build their infrastructure. Other countries may be able to play catch up, but it\u2019s likely that Spain, France, and Italy will always stay one step ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason #3 \u2013 The Quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll keep this point short and sweet\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No wine industry would survive if it didn\u2019t produce a quality product. And again, Italy, Spain, and France stand above most other countries when it comes to quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, this doesn\u2019t mean that no other country can produce great wines. In fact, there are many amazing wines from the Americas and elsewhere in the world that you can find in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/\">the Xtrawine store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What it means is that the absolute best of the best tend to come from these three countries. And again, you can thank the centuries of knowledge that permeates all three industries for this quality.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reason #4 \u2013 Rising International Wine Consumption<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also need to pay attention to the changing appetites of the public when it comes to wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Track back a century ago and the big three were still the dominant wine producers. However, the industries they had weren\u2019t as big as they are today. That\u2019s partially because it was more difficult to distribute wines to far-off places. However, it\u2019s also because many countries had their own preferences in regards to alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even recently, countries like the US tend to lean more towards beer than wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we\u2019ve seen those trends shifting in recent years. Younger drinkers in established countries seem to more keen to drink wine than other drinks. And the reputations that the big three have mean it\u2019s their wines that often get selected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can look at the continued growth of the industry in countries like China and Russia. Again, these are territories that haven\u2019t traditionally embraced wine. But as they increasingly do, France, Spain, and Italy are the best positioned to take advantage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, being the three biggest producers right now almost ensures they\u2019ll be the three biggest producers in the future, as demand for wine in new regions grows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can consider this a small snapshot of why these countries excel above all others when it comes to their wine industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The simple fact is that they\u2019re in command thanks to history, quality, and reputation. And we don\u2019t see that changing any time soon.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Literally dozens of countries produce their own wines.
