The two graph I have chosen are “Total table wine consumption” and ” The wine we drank in 2011″.
The graph of total table wine consumption represents the consumption of cases of wine from 2001 to 2012.It give a clear picture, that the wine lover has never decreased in the past 12 years.The trend shows that every year there is gradual increment of wine consumer.In 2001,the consumption of wine was 207 millions cases and by the year 2012, it reached to 295 millions of cases.
The second graph, “The wine we drank in 2011” gives a clear representation of types of wines that we used the most. Chardonnay(28%) and Cabernet Sauvignon(20%) has ruled the half of the market share in the wine industry in 2011.The other major wines are Merlot(12), Pinot Grijio (11%), Pinot Noir( 8%), Sauvignon Blanc(6%) and rest 15% is ruled by rest of the types of wines. I personally think that the data given is perfect because I work in a restaurant as a server and these are the major wines consumed in the store.
I agree with everything you said in this post although I don’t know much about wines and etc. In the first graph you choose you do notice how over the years total table wine consumption has never decreased just increased as the years went on from 2001 to 2012. I noticed that every year starting from 2001 the increase was slightly over by 20. The second graph you choose also gave me a clear understanding of all the well known wines that adults enjoy and it’s not surprising that Chardonnay is at 28% as well.
