France leads global production of rosé, producing over 212 million gallons annually, according to the latest data tracked by the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) and the Provence Wine Council (CIVP). France is not only the largest producer, it’s also the largest consumer of rosé and the largest exporter of rosé wines by value.

Most of the rosé made in France comes from the Languedoc-Roussillon region, followed by Provence, (where 90% of all the wine made is rosé). After France, the leading rosé producers are: Spain (121.5 million gallons), the US (61 million gallons), and Italy (58 million gallons).
