For people surprised by the UK, here is the 2018 report: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241565639

It says that the recorder alcohol consumption by percentage was 35.7% wine and 35.0% beer, so a close one.

I'm genuinely shocked that people drink more wine than beer in Denmark. Considering Tuborg and Carlsberg both come from there, and the amount of beer I see people drink publicly, it seems genuinely doubtful to me.

The title of the graphics is a bit misleading, as it's not the amount of wine, beer or spirits which is most in each country, it is the the amount of (pure) alcohol from wine, beer or spirits. And one often can see people drinking wine in the Nordics.
