Does the UK really make-up a third of the world wine market, or did I misunderstand?

I think this is just the market for $300-$5000+ bottles of wine.

Still a decent effort :-)

I wonder if it's something to do with UK companies importing/exporting between the US and Europa

It's fine wine (£100 per bottle and up). Of which about 80% is Bordeaux.

I calculated those figures by looking at widely used market stats, and then the turnover of the UK's fine wine wholesalers.
