“According to the forecasts of the Instituto da Vinha e do
Vinho (IVV), wine production in Portugal is expected to drop by around 9%
compared to the previous campaign (characterised by an abnormally high
production) ,” he said in a statement.
However, estimates point to a volume of around 6.7 million
hectoliters, 2% more than the average of the last five campaigns.
By region, Douro and Porto and Lisbon stand out with
expected drops of 20% in terms of volume.
The regions of Minho (10%) and Terras de Cister (10%), in
turn, should present the highest percentage increases.
The IVV also mentioned that, in general, the grapes present
a “good phytosanitary state”, without diseases or pests.
However, the heat and the lack of water “could accentuate
the water stress, so the weather conditions that occur until the harvest will
be decisive in the quantity and quality of the harvest”.

Water, water, water; lack of is mentioned in so many articles this week, last month, the month before; it's a crisis, it's climate disruption, it's not getting better (look at the fires every year) and all I read about is a few cutbacks and "impending doom!"
Portugal is a stunning gem of a country in the world for sooo many attributes. I know our politicians must care about it's people AND the tourism that it attracts. That could all change in a New York minute! WHAT is the plan to be pro-ACTIVE, yes, unveil a plan of action, not cutbacks, solutions. You have brilliant water management scientists and other country models to imitate, Israel never has water problems with 2200 Desalinisation plants. Let's get the plan started NOW because "climate disruption" is already here. What is the plan? Someone please do an article on what our government is doing to combat this and take us comfortably into the future. Tourists will NOT come here if there are water restrictions; they wouldn't come when they had to wear a mask! Do you think with Stagflation here now our economy could take another hit like 2020?
