Weather affects wine producers
Print Edition
FLOODS, drought, frost and hail have cut into world wine production this year across Europe and South America, but the quality of the 2016 vintage shouldn’t unduly suffer.
Italy remained the world’s top producer for the second straight year, with a volume of 48.8 million hectoliters, according to figures released by the International Organization of Vine and Wine. Next comes France — hit hard by spring floods and summer drought — followed by Spain.
Overall global production fell 5 percent from 2015 levels to 259 million hectoliters, one of the weakest levels of the past 20 years. US wine-making grew 2 percent to 22.5 million hectoliters, while Argentina, Chile and South Africa saw big drops.
Lower production could push up prices, but the bad weather will not hurt the quality.
