(3) In recent years, US bulk table wine exports to Italy and France have been processed and bottled in those countries and shipped to the UK. In this table, US bulk
table wine exports to Italy and France have been added to "direct" UK imports from the US to determine total UK imports from the US. Concurrently, imports by the UK
from Italy and France have been decreased by the same quantity that UK imports from the US have been increased.
(4) Some imported wines may be transshipped to other countries in which case the import market and the total market may be overstated.
(5) Total wine market estimated at 1.325 billion liters in 2006 and 1.382 billion liters in 2007.
