The loss-making viticulture, which has been unprofitable for years, cannot be maintained at the current domestic wholesale wine prices, if there is no 15-20 percent wholesale price increase. The situation of the Hungarian grape and wine sector is completely impossible according to the National Council of Mountain Communities.

Impossible not to raise prices for the grape and wine sector

In a statement sent to MTI on Thursday, it was recalled that domestic wholesale prices have not changed despite the increase in costs for winegrowers and wineries. At the same time, trade has steadily increased its margins, so consumer prices have risen year on year, of which producers do not share. An additional difficulty was the extreme weather of 2021. (MTI)
