White or red? When it comes to American wine, teh color is green. For the first time in U.S. wine sales have topped the wine-loving French. Stephanie Gallo of California-based Gallo Family Vineyards
says, "It's exciting". U.S. wine consumption has continued to climb despite the recession. And there's still room to grow. American adults dring about two and a half gallons of wine a year each. But French wine consumption is more than 12 gallons a year. If these numbers confuse you and it seems like the French consume more wine than the American's that is true, however American wine sales are more because America has a greater population. Still the first time this has ever happened, I think its pretty cool.
