Less toasts in sight. Drought and extreme heat reduce champagne production by half

Jornal de Negócios13 September 2026 at 17:00

Champagne production in France is expected to fall to 1.34 million hectoliters, representing a 48% reduction compared to the previous year. According to a statement from the French Ministry of Agriculture, the national harvest will be one of the smallest in the last 30 years.

This significant drop in production is due to the drought and extreme heat that affected France's wine regions. The adverse weather conditions severely compromised the harvest this season.

Consumers may notice a reduction in champagne availability in the market, as production has been practically halved. The situation reflects the increasingly visible effects of climate change on agriculture and European wine production.

Why this matters

The drastic reduction in champagne production may lead to an increase in prices for consumers. This is a direct consequence of extreme climate conditions, which affect agriculture across Europe.
