Worldwide, overproduction has long been one of the greatest challenges to the
wine industry. In the last three years Spain, France and Italy's wine production
has increased by over 24 million hectolitres. According to figures from the
International Wine and Vine Organisation, a bumper crop in Australia, Argentina
and Europe has put global wine production at an estimated 287 million
hectolitres (the highest since 1992). Most of this increase is attributable to
France, Italy and Spain - the world's three largest wine producing countries.
The European Union produces an astonishing 1.5 billion litres of unwanted of
wine every year which equates to 4 bottles per person per year. EU spends half a
billion euros every year turning wine we don't buy into spirit that's not
needed, so that the vineyard owners can survive. Since 1981, the EU has been
distilling surplus wine into industrial alcohol which is a costly process. There
is an annual budget of ?220 million which can be used to distil 11 million
hectolitres of wine. Until the 2002 vintage, there had been a crisis
distillation each year since the mid-eighties. The last crisis distillation,
from the 2001 harvest, removed an extra 7 million hectolitres of wine from the
market. But this year, a combination of higher production, a weak dollar and
declining domestic consumption in both Spain and Italy, spells trouble for the
EU wine industry - and consequently the possibility of reigniting crisis
distillations. Denis Verdier, president of the CCVF said: "It is the first time
in the history that the gravity of the crisis has led to AOC wines calling upon
distillation". In addition to the distillation, Mr. Verdier asks for financial
assistance in pulling up vines, including 10,000 hectares in the Bordeaux
region. Several reports suggested that half the vineyards in the EU are to be
grubbed up. These proposed measures are still being discussed. So the earliest
any proposals can become a reality is 2008, this combined with plans to stop
buying and distilling surplus wines and relax constrictive winemaking and
labelling rules means that Europe is set to continue producing more wine that we
want to drink! About the Author Visit Vintage Roots at
