Germania se aşteaptă la cea mai mică producţie de vin de după 2010 - Economica.net

Germany's wine production is projected to drop to its lowest level since 2010, with estimates around 20% below the long-term average. The German Wine Institute (DWI) forecasts production below the average of 8.7 million hectoliters, with 7.1 million hectoliters produced in 2010 and 7.7 million last year. Many grapes remained small due to an extremely dry and sunny summer, but winemakers expect exceptional quality. Yield variations depend on vine age and soil water retention capacity, with older vines faring better in drought conditions. The grape harvest began earlier than ever this year, starting one to two weeks ahead of recent years.
