Romania is the sixth-biggest wine producer in Europe, after world leaders Italy, France and Spain, Germany and Portugal.

Worldwide, wine production is expected to reach 282 million hectoliters this year, one of the highest levels since 2000. Italy (48.5 mhl), France (46.4 mhl) and Spain (40.9 mhl) recorded very high production levels.
