Sorry to be a troll, but according to the chart the U.S. ranks 4th in Wine, not third…looks like U.K. is third.
You’re not being a troll, and I always appreciate it when people point out mistakes on the blog. In this case, though, you might be misreading the chart. The large purple chunk showing 33.17% is not a single country; it shows the total combined wine imports for all the other countries in the ranking.
