Global wine output recovered in 2018 from 60-year low

Paris — Global wine output rose to near-record highs in 2018 after a sharp rebound from a poor harvest the previous year, though consumption stopped growing, says the International Organisation of Vine and Wine .

The growth was driven by steep rises in Italy, France and Spain —three of the world’s major producers — which all recorded output at least 13% above their five-year averages.A hectolitre amounts to 100 litres, or the equivalent of 133 standard wine bottles.Wine output, excluding juice and new wine, also jumped in the southern hemisphere in 2018, with rises of 22.8% in Argentina to 14.5-million hectolitres and 35.9% in Chile to 12.9-million hectolitres.

The slight drop could be linked to the decline in production the previous year, it said, adding that consumption estimates were tentative due to limited data.
