Wine cooperatives are strong in France and especially in Languedoc-Roussillon where you find 70 % of them. Here are some interesting figures from the Fédération des Vignerons Coopérateurs Languedoc-Roussillon (Languedoc-Roussillon accounts for approximately 35 % of the total production of wine in France):

210 cooperatives
20 000 members
5400 employees
1200 million euro in turnover
174 000 hectares of vines (70 % of the total surface of vines in Languedoc-Roussillon)
11 million hectolitres of wine (75 % of total volume)
