Illustration - Early grape harvest in Aigremont. Gard, France, August 26, 2025. "Obviously, this is bad news..." An understatement: in the midst of the wine crisis, winegrowers saw their hopes of an exemption from customs duties to the United States dashed this Thursday, August 21. French wines will be taxed at 15% – compared to 13.5% since the beginning of the year, and 2.5% previously.

Rising temperatures – one of the most emblematic markers of climate change – are accelerating vine development, with grape ripening advancing. "There is a phenomenon of amplification of the effect of climate change because the harvest is happening in the middle of summer," confirms Jean-Marc Touzard. A double whammy that's causing temperatures to soar at harvest time. To reduce overproduction, 27,500 hectares of vines will be uproo
