How many different wine are produced in a year?!
Does anyone have any idea or guess as to how many different bottles of wine are produced in a year!? I am guessing the FDA would keep track and the number can be found somewhere out there, I just can't find it!.

Answers:
If you are asking how many different wines there are in the world, I can not answer that because there are a bazillion different varietals and then many wineries produce their own blends of those varietals at different degrees of sweetness so I think that is impossible to say!.
If you are asking volume produced then I can help you!. Every year it varies bit by bit!. For example, this year in the Napa Valley they are producing less in 2008 because most wineries lost tons of grapes to frost!. But to give you a general idea here are some numbers:

France: 52004
