Morocco has the largest expanding domestic wine market.
Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia are all 98%+ Muslim countries, but wine production is a significant part of their economies.
There were ancient vineyards in North Africa, but the wine production was revived by the French. Wine production began as a mostly Jewish/Pied-nior industry, but average Muslim Moroccans now tend to the vineyards post-independence.

Wine consumption is taboo and heavily looked down upon in North Africa, but the vast majority of the wine produced in North Africa serves the domestic market.
Morocco produces 40 million bottles of wine a year, and only 3 million of that is exported.
While it's true that much of that wine is concentrated in tourist areas, Morocco doesn't receive nearly enough tourists to consume 37 million bottles of wine a year.
That means that the vast majority of the considerable amount of wine produced in Morocco is consumed domestically, and behind closed curtains.
Halal in the streets, Haram in the sheets.

The best part is that the wine produced in North Africa is quite strong. They produce varieties of wine with higher alcohol content than wine from Europe or the Americas.
The only other part of the Muslim world with a liquor industry is Turkey, and everyone knows that Turks are deviants.
It's more interesting to see it coming from one of the less liberal corners of the Islamic world.
NO, that is cultrual appropriation and continued white colonialism of POC cultural food. Please white people stop stealing. Liberate your labour and products sell only to POC.

Wine is a part of a lot of Jewish ceremonies (shabat, pass-over, bris, et cetera). Excessive drunkeness is a sin, but alcohol itself is permissible, and wine in specific is often mentioned in the Torah and Talmud.
Most alcoholic beverages from Islamic countries are produced by Jewish or Christian minorities for religious/cultural purposes (like in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria).
