French wine by the 2024 vintage will be in short supply

This year has been one of the rainiest on record, so this will inevitably affect the quality and quantity of wine.

Researchers have found that climate change not only affects people, but also other life on the planet.

The impacts are also reflected in various industries, particularly the wine industry, writes the Daily Mail.

Previously, scientists have already warned that changes in climatic conditions on the planet are bound to affect the quantity and quality of wine.

Now, French winemakers note that the wine of this year’s harvest will become scarce. This will happen because of the wettest weather in recorded history.

Representatives of the winery Domaine Roland Lavantureux, which produces Chardonnay grapes, lasts only 9 days, which is almost half the usual amount.

As a result, wine producers have warned that the number of bottles of the 2024 vintage will be significantly reduced.

According to French winemakers, 2024 was “a year of unpredictably severe weather”, with frost, hail, record rainfall and the spread of a dangerous fungus hitting the region.

According to winemaker David Laventure, who has been involved in winemaking since 2010, the current one has been the toughest of the past 14 years.

Total production in wine regions is estimated at 39.3 million hectoliters, down 18% from 2023 and 11% below the five-year average.

Winemakers note that this year’s climatic instability is bound to affect the wines of the 2024 vintage.
