I have travelled to the Bay area a few times in my lifetime and had witnessed a substantial amount of wines consumed a various restaurants and bars. Plus the Napa Valley region is within the Bay Area's vicinity, that houses among the most prestigous wine vineyards in the world. As for Indianapolis, well it kind of makes me wonder how a city known for drag racing became number one for the most wine consumption. Salt Lake City, now that would definitely shock everyone to believe if this city had consumed a high amount of wine or any other alcoholic beverage. We can all credit the Mormons for being so infleuential in keeping the consumption rate so low, after all the Mormons don't "booze around!"

It seems difficult to come by. District of Columbia is tops, I would bet, due to the population of politicians per capita. Just a thought.

According to the Oxford Companion to Wine the US consumption in 2003 was 8.7 litres (about 12 bottles) The corresponding figure for Australia is 21.3l (about 28 bottles). These figures are based on total population, not just over 21, but the proportions would not change much. To me the interesting question is why wine consumption in the US is so low.
