European Grapes for Wines Harvested Production by Country

In 2023, Italy led European grape production for wines with 7.39 million metric tons, a slight 0.25% decrease year-on-year. Spain ranked second with 5.73 million metric tons, experiencing a 3.01% decline, followed by France at 5.6 million metric tons, which saw a 2.1% decrease. Germany's output was 1.16 million metric tons, dropping 3.78%. Romania and Portugal yielded 0.9311 and 0.82802 million metric tons respectively, with Portugal posting a modest 1.09% increase. Other notable countries include Greece, Hungary, and Austria, all experiencing declines.

Key trends over the last two years show consistent declines in major producers like Italy, Spain, and France. However, there were minor increases in Serbia, Albania, the UK, and the Netherlands. Countries like Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Luxembourg witnessed sharper decreases, while Sweden showed a significant increase of 18.47%.

Future trends to watch for include the sustained growth in lesser-known wine-producing countries like the UK and Sweden. Expect further declines in traditional leaders unless they adapt to changing climatic conditions and market dynamics. Emerging wine regions may continue gaining prominence due to innovation in viticulture and favorable policies.
