Last year, French sparkling wine recorded an increase in sales of 5.7% and 6.7% in the first quarter of 2024, reported the newspaper Les Échos, citing data from the market research company Circana IRI. "Sales broke a new record in 2023 in a difficult situation for the wine industry. This is the third consecutive year of growth and a new historic year for the industry," the president of the National Crémant...

Portugal is the world’s leading producer of cork. In 2023, cork exports achieved a record value of €1.2 billion, 75 percent of which came from cork stoppers, according to APCOR, the Portuguese association of cork producers. The Amorim Group, Portugal's leading cork company, claims that around one out of three wine bottles worldwide is sealed with a cork stopper made in Portugal. About 20 years ago, significant concerns emerged that cork might lose market share to synthetic alternatives, which were less expensive and carried no risk of spoiling the wine with 'cork taint'.

Global wine production reached a historic low in 2023 and climate change could be to blame, a new report has revealed. The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) says the drink hit its lowest level since 1962.

Experts blame “extreme environmental conditions” including droughts and fires that have been driving the downward trend in production. Though climate change is not entirely to blame, the OIV says, these conditions are the greatest challenge the industry is facing. V...

France's winegrowers are facing declining sales at home and abroad compounded by falling producer prices, despite achieving an above-average grape harvest last year. The situation has been caused by rising inflation and the fact that the French are drinking less wine, the Agriculture Ministry said in its latest market analysis. The 2023 grape harvest should actually have given France's winegrowers reason to celebrate. At 48 million hectolitres, it was 4% higher than the previous year and 8% higher than the average for 2018-2022. But between August and December 2023, exports of origin-protected...
