wine in France as of 2005, and the vineyard area had expanded to in the early 2000s. Some smaller investors, more oriented toward higher quality wines than the high-volume market, have later followed. Production and consumption Wine production reached its peak under the French occupation with an output of more than 3 million hectoliters in the 1950s. After a major decline in the aftermath of the majority-Muslim nation's independence, interest and production of began to revive and increase again, currently (2013) standing at about 400,000 hectolitres. Thus, Morocco has become the second biggest producer of wine in the Arab world, after Algeria. The industry employs up to 20,000 people. Most of the wine is consumed within the country, but better wines are exported as well, primarily to France. Moroccan law does not prohibit the production of beer and alcohol, but only their sale to Muslim customers. Wine can be purchased in supermarkets and some restaurants, often those that cater to tourists and visitors. Alcohol is not generally available during Islamic festivals including Ramadan, except in some outlets aimed primarily at non-Muslims. Wine styles and grape varieties Red wine dominates greatly, with over 75 per cent of production. Rosé wines and vin gris account for almost 20 per cent, and white wine for only around 3 per cent as of 2005. The traditional red grapes planted in Morocco are Carignan (which once dominated), Cinsaut (almost 40 per cent in 2005), Alicante, and Grenache. Plantations of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah have increased rapidly, and together make up around 15 per cent. Traditional white grape varieties include Clairette blanche and Muscat. There has also been smaller experimentation with Chardonnay, Chenin blanc and Sauvignon blanc, where there is a need to pick early in order to produce white wines with sufficient freshness. Taferielt is an indigenous Moroccan wine, table, and raisin grape. Wine regions Morocco is divided into five wine regions. Within these wine regions are a total of 14 areas with Appellation d'Origine Garantie (AOG) status. In 2001, a single Appelation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) was created, Côteaux de l'Atlas 1er cru ("Atlas hills"). In 2009, the first estate with a Château name, Château Roslane, was approved. The five wine regions, and their associated appellations, are: The East Beni Sadden AOG Berkane AOG Angad AOG Meknès/Fès region: Guerrouane AOG Beni M'tir AOG Saiss AOG Zerhoune AOG Coteaux de l’Atlas 1er Cru The Northern
