Tunisia is a North African country with a Long (if not consistent) history of wine production. Despite being a predominantly Muslim country, the Tunisian wine industry produces over 40 million litres of wine per year. However, it has suffered over the past decade due to the collapse of North African tourism. Tourists are also responsible for about 50% of consumption.
In response to this situation, the European Union has funded several recent initiatives to help wine farms.
Vineyards cover about 14,000 hectares (34,500 acres) of the country. About 80 percent are in the Cap Bon region and nearly two-thirds are controlled by the cooperative group Les Vignerons de Carthage. It was created in response to the difficulties caused by the Phylloxera epidemic of 1936 to 1947.
There are seven appellations of controlled origin.
