The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) published today its annual first estimates for global wine production in 2025.

The initial forecast for 2025 is between 228 and 235 million hectolitres, with a mid-range estimate of 232 million hectolitres. That is a 3% increase on the historically low 2024 harvest, but still 7% below the 5-year average.

In the European Union (140 mhl), production increased modestly compared with 2024

but remains significantly under the five-year average. The region continues to face

high climatic variability, with France and Spain recording very low harvests, Italy

recovering to near-normal levels, and several Central and Southeastern European

countries achieving above-average results.

In the rest of the Northern Hemisphere, outcomes were mixed. The United States

recorded only a partial rebound from 2024’s low harvest, while other producers such

as Russia, Moldova, and Switzerland are expected to maintain stable or slightly higher

than average volumes.

The Southern Hemisphere (49 mhl) experienced a moderate recovery from 2024,

driven by improved conditions in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil,

which offset the significant decline seen in Chile. Overall, the hemisphere’s production

remains slightly below average, reflecting ongoing climatic challenges.

Despite these regional differences, the global market may be broadly balanced:

limited production growth in 2025 is expected to help stabilise inventories in a

context of softening consumption in mature markets and heightened uncertainty in

global trade conditions.
