Overall, wine consumption fell by 1.3 million litres to 235.9 million litres, the Federal Office for Agriculture announced on Thursday – a decrease of 0.5%.
However, there were differences between types of wine: according to the figures, an uptick in white wine consumption was not able to compensate for a drop in the popularity of red. That said, red wine still accounted for just under 64% of total consumption, with at least 150 million litres drunk.
