France has lowered its 2025 wine production estimate to 36.0 million hectolitres, down from the 37.4 million hectolitres forecast a month earlier, the French Agriculture Ministry said on Tuesday.
The revised outlook marks a 1% decline compared to last year’s harvest and is 16% below the five-year average, reflecting the continued challenges facing the country’s vineyards.
Officials attributed the downgrade primarily to the severe heatwave that struck in August, which affected grape yields and quality in several key wine-producing regions. The new estimate is based on updated harvest data collected nationwide, incorporating the latest reports from growers and regional cooperatives.
