The Wine Belt is an informal term for the territory covered by countries where wine is historically the most popular alcoholic beverage. The wine belt is located to the south of the beer belt and the vodka belt.[1][2][3][4] The wine belt is aprox between 41° - 44°N[5] or 30° - 50°N.[6] Countries in the wine belt include Spain, Portugal, Italy, Hungary, Moldova, Georgia, Switzerland, Romania and France. Additionally, southwestern Germany and parts of Austria could be considered to lie either within the belt or within an overlap region.[7]
