My winemaking friends in France, the French wine growers who are currently harvesting the grapes of vintage 2024, have been telling me about how terrible the weather has been this year for grape vines and HOW BAD the crop is going to be this year. And then last week I saw this headline in an important wine industry news website: “France to produce one of smallest vintages in a century” and even I was surprised. What is going on? Is French wine is total decline? Are wine prices going to go through the roof if the largest wine country on Earth hardly makes any wine this year? Let’s talk about it… While they whine, we wine.

Very informative cutting through the alarmist news!👏👏
Interesting news but not too surprising. I think France does have some issues with its wine output and production. I watch another wine channel that deals with some of the business of wine. The host has been describing how a wine lake of top end Bordeaux is building up. The prices are too expensive and folk aren't drinking wine the way they used to. Past vintages aren't selling out and turn up at auction for no more than retail causing a backlog. Some French grape growers at the lower end have been tearing up their crop to plant other things. That's happening in Spain as well.
Climate change says hello
champagne also saying that whilst quantity down the quality looks good
Hopefully prices will regulate!
Currently prices are unhealthy high.
The hype is beginning early this year.
