Champagne output nearly halved by frost and heatwaves in 2026
Die PresseLO·FR·2 days ago
Extreme heat and drought are projected to cut French champagne production by 48% in 2026 to 1.34 million hectoliters. The scale of the drop, if confirmed, would mark a severe supply shock for the premium wine sector, with potential price implications. The forecast is preliminary and subject to harvest conditions.
