The report, analysed on vinetur.com, says that wines without denominación de origen (DO) or geographic indications are the most consumed in the country, accounting for an average of 4.10 litres per capita (48.6 per cent).

Still wines experienced a small growth of 1.1 per cent in consumption compared to 2014.
