List of wine-producing regions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This list of wine-producing regions catalogues significant growing regions where vineyards are planted. Wine grapes mostly grow between the 30th and the 50th degree of latitude, in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Grapes will sometimes grow beyond this range and minor amounts of wine are made in some very unexpected places.
In 2003, the five largest producers of wine in the world were France, Spain, Italy, the United States, and Argentina (see: List of wine producing countries for a complete rank).

In the UK the acreage under vines is small, and viticulture isn't a major part of the agricultural industry anywhere. However the greatest concentration of vineyards is found in the south eastern corner of England, in the counties of Kent, Surrey, and East and West Sussex, mainly on the south facing slopes of the North and South Downs and the Weald.
