Wine is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting grapes or other fruit. Traditionally grapes were trampled by barefooted vineyard workers to produce a pulp, which was fermented with tannins and sulphides to produce a rich, fruity drink. Today this process in most commercial vineyards is mechanized.

The top twenty leading wine-producing countries in order of total production are:[1] France, Italy, Spain, USA, Argentina, China, Australia, Germany, Portugal, South Africa, Chile, Hungary, Romania, Greece, Russia, Brazil, Austria, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and Croatia.
