28、nd demand factors of economics. The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before. This demand for more wine has increased overall (总体) wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year. The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which mea
29、ns that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes (葡萄).
