For a thirst-quenching adventure through Italy's most celebrated wine region, visit
Tuscany's Il Chianti.
The average Italian adult consumes around 42L of wine per annum - a sobering figure com-
pared with the 100L consumed on average back in the 1950s. Somewhat surprisingly, the
world's top consumers of wine live in the Vatican City (54.78L per person).
