In 2023, France led the European grapes area under conversion to organic farming, with a significant year-on-year increase of 27.85%. Italy and Spain saw declines of 12.11% and 7.08%, respectively. Of note are Serbia and Slovakia with impressive growth rates of 51.68% and 69.66%. Other countries like Greece, Portugal, and Belgium showed moderate gains, while Croatia and Romania faced reductions.

Emphasis on climate change adaptation, consumer demand for organic produce, and governmental support for sustainable agriculture could further influence these trends across Europe.
