Question: 2025 grape harvest is underway. Which wine region is having the most difficulty?
Answer: Difficult question. Many regions are optimistic about the earlier picking, higher sugars and increased yields over 2024 – especially in Champagne, Loire, and Burgundy. However some are less fortunate led by phylloxera in the Canaries, extreme heat plus droughts in southern vineyards of Greece, Italy, & Spain, and even California in especially Lodi & Monterey where grape demands are down with vineyard acreage being pulled out. Also Canada’s ban on the importation of USA alcohol is hurting the industry there. Still early days for 2025 harvest so stay tuned in.
