France Expects Wine Production Rebound, But Drought Threatens
Wine production in France is expected to rebound this year from frost-hit output in 2021, although deepening drought may curb volumes, the country’s farm ministry said. Wine production is expected to rise by 13-21% to between 42.6 million and 45.6 million hectolitres, the ministry projected in its first outlook for 2022.

The forecast range is even with to 7% above the five-year average.
Most areas experienced more favourable weather than last year for the flowering of vines, except for parts of the southwest which were affected by frost and hail, the ministry said. ‘In these conditions, production is trending towards an increase compared with last year in all wine regions, with the exception of Charentes,’ it said in a report. However, soil drought combined with heatwaves could limit this increase if they persist until harvesting.’
