The Pope’s city has lost the wine-drinking world title after being pipped at the post by a tiny island off the coast of Australia.
The latest world wine consumption statistics show that per capita those on Norfolk Island enjoy a tipple slightly more than folk in the Vatican.
Residents of the 8km long and 5km wide island in the pacific ocean spend an average of €550 a year on wine, and wet their beaks with 77.8 bottles.
However, the Vatican is not far behind, with on average each person slurping 76 bottles a year – this doesn’t take into account those who don’t consume alcohol, meaning the figures per person could even be higher.
Crown
Wine isn’t a big hit in most of Asia and Eastern Europe, but Pakistan takes the crown for the least amount of wine consumed, with 0.00011 bottles drunk a year per Pakistani.
The data was collated from the Wine Institute, the World Bank and Numbeo by moving company Move Hub.
