What is the largest winery in the world?
If I’m not mistaken, E & J Gallo is the largest wine producer/seller in the world but I’m not sure. Can you answer my question?

While E&J Gallo is definitely one of the largest and finest wine producers and exporters in the world, it is not The biggest. They rule the exports of Californian wine and own most of the vineyards there.
The leading company in the district of wine is called Constellation Wines, or Constellation Brands at times. It was established in 1945 and still remains a family run business seeing as the sons of the original founder is still the ones at the head of the company. Constellation owns and is made of various other alcohol companies, not only wine, but also beer and hard liquor. Some of the top brands and names belonging to the company are Arbor Mist, Black Box, or Alice White. All in all they encompass over 200 brands of alcohol, mainly wine, they are based in New York, and make a yearly income of almost 4 billion dollars.
That’s funny that constellation wines is the largest in the world, yet I have never heard of them, and I drink a lot of wine! I guess because they have so many brand names under one umbrella.
