This list of wine-producing regions catalogues significant growing regions where vineyards are planted. Wine grapes mostly grow between the 30th and the 50th degree of latitude, in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

In 2014, the five largest producers of wine in the world were, in order, Italy, Spain, France, the United States, and China.
