How did the decrease in wine production and resulting price increases affect international trade in 2024?

The decline in wine consumption is a multifaceted issue, stemming from reduced demand in major markets such as the US (down 5.8%) and China, coupled with increased prices. European consumption also fell by 2.8%, with France experiencing a 3.6% decrease, partly due to generational shifts in drinking habits. Reduced production, impacted by weather extremes, further exacerbated the price increases.
