Overall wine output is projected to be between 44 million and 47 million hectolitres, a range that encompasses both the five-year average of 44.5 million hectolitres and 2022 output of 46.1 million hectolitres, the ministry said in a report on Tuesday.Frequent storm showers and hot weather during May and June created the conditions for mildew disease in the Bordeaux and Southwest growing regions, meaning production forecasts are tentative for those areas, the ministry said.
With the grape harvest expected to revert to a more typical schedule after a very early start last year, harvest prospects would not become clearer until picking gets into full swing from late August, he said.Falling demand for red wines, out of fashion with younger drinkers, prompted the government to offer producers aid this year.
In the south, drought was expected to lower output in Languedoc-Roussillon region, the ministry said.
