It is indicated that Morocco is the second largest wine exporter in Africa after South Africa. The report shows that Moroccans consumed 38 million bottles of wine in 2018.
Morocco's production constitutes 77% of Moroccan red wine, 6.6% of white wine and 16.4% of rose and gray wine. The gray wine is only produced in Morocco.
The Spanish source indicates that in Spain Moroccan wine is a token import. Only 10 or 15% of Moroccan wine is for export. Moroccan wine reaches Europe and other continents, including the US, Japan, and China.
In Europe, the wine is also exported to the Netherlands, France, and Belgium. In addition to exports in Europe, Asia, and America, Morocco is also the second-largest exporter of wine in Africa after South Africa.
The news report also mentioned some of the most notable regions for wine production. The Meknes region is notable for wine production, bottling 60% of all Moroccan wine.
The Moroccan winery map also includes the eastern region of Berkane, where 75% of the harvest is concentrated at the "Domaine des Trois Cavaliers winery."
The eastern region is also a home for vines "grown in greenhouses, especially in the Bouark plain, in the province of Nador."
Volubila wine is also among the best Moroccan wines. Moroccan wineries employ 20,000 people across three large companies, including Les Celliers de Meknes, Castel, and Thalvin Group.
In addition to wine, 310 million liters of beer were consumed in the last three years. "That is about 103 million liters per year, in addition to 14 million bottles of other alcoholic beverages."
The news report emphasized that Moroccans consume more beer than wine. "The best-known beer brands are Casablanca, Flag, and Stork," the report said.
