France’s wine production for 2024 is projected to decline by 23% compared to the previous year, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. This reduction, totaling approximately 36.9 million hectoliters, is largely attributed to adverse weather conditions affecting vineyards nationwide. As producers face significant income losses, a new protest movement is forming to advocate for their financial well-being. Challenges such as poor flowering conditions, spring frost, and summer hail have compounded the difficulties, leading to production levels approaching historical lows seen in 2017 and 2021.
