The Bourgogne wine region: 0.4% of the world’s wines, but 3% of global wine revenue

The Bourgogne wine region is tiny in terms of world wine production, with just 0.4% of the total area under vine, and only 3.4% of wine-producing land in France. Nonetheless, in 2014 it accounted for 3% of the global wine trade in terms of value.
