Rating of European wine-producing regions

Tuscany, Piedmont and Lombardy in Italy, Ribera de Duero and Somontano in Spain, South-East England, Loire Valley and Bordeaux in France, as well as Mosel Valley in Germany were named as leading wine-producing regions in Europe, according to ee24.com citing Knight Frank.

Despite the fact that the total area of vineyards has decreased in all the countries, the cost of vineyards, in contrast, has increased in 2013 in some regions. It depends on several factors, including location, age and reputation.

Vineyards in Tuscany are now by 20% more expensive, the cost of such plots in the Piedmont and Lombardy, as well as in England and Spain, has remained the same, while vineyards in France have become a little more affordable.
