A wealthy northern nation that gradually shifted its preference from spirits to wine at the late 20th century.
As in Sweden, this was partly due to deliberate government policy, but a massive contribution was made by rising prosperity, a passion for a healthy lifestyle, and the trend towards the 'Mediterranean diet,' which pairs food with wine rather than beer.
By the way, climate change is progressively encouraging the development of winemaking here as well: winters have become milder, and the grape-growing season has expanded.
Nevertheless, due to challenging cultivation conditions and limited production volume, Danish wine remains among the most expensive, and even local merchants struggle to sell domestic bottles.
For instance, the price of Danish wine in Denmark is 200 kroner or 27 dollars and above, which is more than double the price of the cheapest French wine.
