+Description of plot:
+* **Plot Type:** A **dual-axis line plot** was used to show the trends of the two variables over the years 2006–2018.
+* **WO Trend:** The **WO [x1000]** variable (red line) shows a **strong, consistent, and nearly linear increase** throughout the period.
+* **Beer Consumption Trend:** **NL Beer consumption** (blue line) also shows an **overall increase**, but the growth is much **slower** and less linear than the WO trend.
+* **Correlation:** The data exhibits a **strong positive correlation**, quantified by the Pearson coefficient: **$\rho \approx 0.818$**.
+* **Key Takeaway:** The strong correlation means the two quantities tend to rise together. However, it is crucial to remember that this **does not prove causation**
