French wine production is projected to reach 37.4 million hectolitres this year, marking a 3% increase from the previous year’s rain-impacted figures, the Agriculture Ministry announced on Tuesday.
However, the new estimate falls short of the initially projected 40-43 million hectolitres range and remains 13% below the five-year average of 42.9 million hectolitres.
A hectolitre corresponds to 100 litres or approximately 133 standard wine bottles, offering a tangible perspective on these figures.
