Report: Global #wine production worst in 62 years due to 'extreme #climate events'

"#Fires, #droughts and other conditions commonly associated with a changing global climate greatly contributed to making the world's 2023 wine production the worst in 62 years, industry officials have reported.
"A 'State of the World Vine and Wine Sector in 2023' report released Thursday by the France-based International Organization of Vine and Wine cites 'extreme environmental conditions' as a primary cause of a 10% drop in global wine production in 2023.
"John Barker, director of the wine organization, said 'drought, #ExtremeHeat and fires, as well as #HeavyRain causing #flooding and #fungal disease across major northern and southern hemisphere wine production regions" were primary factors in the decrease in global wine production.
"The 10% decrease is the world's steepest drop in wine production in 62 years, according to the industry report. The grape harvest was the worst reported since 1961.
"A 26% drop in wine production in #Australia and a 23% drop in #Italy made those nations the worst in 2023. #Spain lost more than 20% of its wine production, and #Chile and #SouthAfrica each recorded 10% drops."
