Watch Your Winegut
It appears as if all those jokes about beer bellies and beer guts will have to be rewritten:
"A new study shows that after France and Italy, the United States is the world’s third-largest consumer of table wines. And if that growth stays steady, the U.S. will become the global leader by 2008."

Hi Beau!
The US will be the global leader in 2008 for the wine consumption because of the size of the country, but not for the per-capita consumption yet.
The US is today the 35th for per-capita wine consumption : the american drinks an average of 10 liters per year compared to 55 liters for France.
