Ranking

I came across a chart the other day.  It ranks the countries by the per person consumption of wine.

The Vatican is number one.  I am not sure how they are doing it, but I do know they are kicking our behinds here in this country.  It must be all those state functions or it could be all the church services.  Wine is used at every mass to symbolize the blood of Christ.  I sure hope it is not because of my fellow altar boys and I.  We might have sneaked into the sacrificial wine from time to time, but I’m pretty sure they could not trace that.

I have listed below a few countries and their ranking by bottles of wine consumed per person, per year.

#1    Vatican City State     89
#3    France                         71
#6    Italy                             67
#27 Germany                     32
#34 United Kingdom        26
#47 Canada                        16
#57 United States              13

#57! Come on we can do better than that.  Men it falls on us.  The women are doing their part.  The chart below puts it on us.

​
                  Beer       Wine         Liquor
