State of the vitiviniculture world market: Balance is restored to the wine sector

Since the end of the EU programme to regulate wine production potential, European vineyards have stopped decreasing and almost stayed at the same level as for the previous year at 3481 kha. Nevertheless, as in recent years, vineyards in China (+20 kha compared with the 2012 area under vines) and in South America (+3 kha in Argentina and 2 kha in Chile) have continued to increase.
