In 2023, the number of persons employed in the wine sector in France was higher than the forecast for subsequent years. From 2024 to 2028, employment is projected to decline from 20.27 thousand to 17.84 thousand employees, reflecting a consistent annual decrease. Year-on-year variations show a decreasing trend, with noticeable reductions each year: -3.06% from 2024 to 2025, -3.12% from 2025 to 2026, -3.15% from 2026 to 2027, and -3.26% from 2027 to 2028.

Future trends to watch for include advancements in vineyard automation, which could further impact employment numbers, and potential shifts in global wine demand driven by changing consumer preferences and international trade dynamics. Environmental changes and sustainability practices may also influence the sector's employment landscape.
