Expo driving Italian wine consumption

(ANSA) - Rome, August 27 - The Expo world's fair taking place in Milan is driving consumption of Italian wines, the Wines Economic Observatory (OVSE) told ANSA Thursday.
    Wine cellars located in the area around the fair grounds saw visitors increase 11% in May and June, the first two months of the Universal Exposition.
    This translated into 10 million bottles sold directly to consumers and worldwide turnover of 110 million euros, OVSE said.
