World wine production slips amid rough weather; Italy on top

World wine production slips amid rough weather; Italy on top

October 31, 2016 By Rhino Wino Leave a Comment

Wine production has faced pretty heavy weather this year. And it hurt. Literally. Floods, drought, frost and hail, you name it, it’s hit the vineyards in Europe and Latin America. This has cut down global production 5 percent from the previous year. However, the quality of the vintage has not been affected, analysts say.

Key Takeaways:

  • This year across Europe and South America floods, droughts, frost, and hail in particular have cut into world wine production in particular overall.
  • Recently Italy remained the worlds top producer in particular for the second straight year in a row with a volume of forty eight point eight million hectoliters.
  • When it comes to the aspect of global production overall global production has fell five percent from 2015 levels to two hundred and fifty nine million hectoliters.

“The group also released figures this week that were in line with the trends by the International Organization for Vine and Wine, a group representing 46 wine-producing countries.”
