A decline in wine production is expected this year. Estimates suggest the total harvest will be lower than usual. Several factors have contributed to this decrease, including a reduction in cultivated areas and extreme weather conditions during the summer.

The predicted harvest volume is around 35 million hectolitres. This represents a significant drop from previous years, with a decrease of 14% compared to the average over the past five years.

Further information on the harvest estimate can be found through the Agriculture Ministry, which provided the forecast.
