A new report shows where has wine production dried up the most in Europe.
Global wine production reached a historic low in 2023 and climate change could be to blame, a new report has revealed.
The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) says the drink hit its lowest level since 1962. This intergovernmental organisation has 50 member states, representing 75 per cent of the world’s vineyard area.
Experts blame “extreme environmental conditions” including droughts and fires that have been driving the downward trend in production.
Well, it’s also hitting chocolate, coffee and beer.
If you watch John Oliver, the chocolate part is kind of a good thing even though it sucks for us. Well, not us. I refuse to have anything chocolate after watching that episode.
Havent watched it all season because they shifted the upload schedule. It no longer pops up on my youtube.
It’s up now. I warn you not to watch it if you ever want to eat chocolate again without feeling very guilty.

Fun fact: tons of wheat and corn farmers had shit yields last year in my area. It’s not even that the temperature was higher, the weather was just all over the place and it fucked the plants.
Of course, it’s government policy to overproduce so much wheat and corn we can feed a substantial chunk of the world, so it’ll take longer before the basic staples start getting hit, but just you wait.
