/PRNewswire/ -- While wine drinking is not linked as closely to American dining and culture as it is with that of some European nations, most Americans buy and drink wine — only 38% say they never buy a bottle of wine. And, almost half of U.S. adults over 21 say they drink wine several times per month (48%) and over one in five say they usually purchase 4 or more bottles of wine per month (22%). Whether it's for convenience, cost, patriotism, personal preference or something else, a large majority of adults who buy or drink wine say they buy or drink wine from the United States (89%). Sizeable numbers say they buy or drink wine from Italy (37%), Australia (34%) and France (33%) while one in five or fewer buy or drink wine from Chile (21%), Spain (21%), Germany (20%) or Argentina (19%). Smaller numbers buy or drink wine from New Zealand (11%), South Africa (9%), Portugal (8%) or Brazil (6%) and very few buy or drink wine from Greece, Israel, Bolivia, Turkey or Poland (3% or less).
