Who drinks French wines

It used to be that the people of France only drank wine that came from their locality. The access to railroads, and other transportation made the availability of wine through out the country much easier. France has been known to be one of the biggest consumers of their own wines.

Also the excellent quality of wines that are being produced in other parts of the globe has taken its toll on the popularity of French wines.
