I'm just putting the finishing touches to a short history of wine (to be published by Penguin in the UK and US next year). I would like to include a graphic of known levels of per capita wine consumption over the long term (classical period to the present). I know these are often only estimates based on what is known of production and/or imports and population sizes, and I'll make those caveats clear. What I would appreciate is any consumption figures anyone can provide (or references to such figures). I have quite a few for Europe 1500 onwards, but I would welcome figures relating to any period and locality (city, province, state, etc). If you can help with data or references please either post them to the group or send them directly to me. All contributions will be acknowledged in the book, needless to say. Thanks in advance.
