A new report shows where has wine production dried up the most in Europe.
Global wine production reached a historic low in 2023 and climate change could be to blame, a new report has revealed.
The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) says the drink hit its lowest level since 1962. This intergovernmental organisation has 50 member states, representing 75 per cent of the world’s vineyard area.
Experts blame “extreme environmental conditions” including droughts and fires that have been driving the downward trend in production.
Wasn’t there something recently, that French wine farmers had a huge overproduction last year, so the government bought up their wine to distill into industrial alcohol to subsidize them?
Why are we enslaving ourselves to farmers that are first to destroy the environment they depend on and then also first to demand government bailouts?
On defense of farmers, why does the French government saving the wine industry a bad thing? They take the overstock that would have otherwise driven the prices to an unsustainable low and covert it into a useful product for another customer base?
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
If one year they need help because of overproduction and the next year they need help because of underproduction, for a product that can be easily stored for years, then we are obviously getting duped.
