This year, the harvest began in all wine regions later than last year, with 15-20 percent yield loss expected for varieties affected by drought and spring fros – Légli Otto, President of the National Council of Mountain Villages (HNT), told MTI on Thursday.

At half of the harvest, HNT estimates that the maximum yield will be around 350-360 thousand tonnes in 2020, which predicts the production of approximately 2.2-2.5 million hectoliters of wine. This volume is not only lower than last year’s 2.7 million hectoliters, but is lower than than the preliminary estimate as well.
