Wine and data. “In vino veritas,” but also, “lies, damned lies and statistics.”
After many years covering the economic and financial aspects of the European wine market for Bloomberg News, I’ve learned there’s quite a lot of industry data that flies under the radar. Vineyard prices rising in one area and slumping in another as consumer tastes change and new markets emerge. Climate-fueled weather disruption wiping out grape harvests and prompting price spikes.
This blog will look at some of this data, for example on what’s happening with vineyard prices, production forecasts and trends for bulk wine, rather than the consumer experience. Numbers driven, with a focus on the long term and an emphasis on France, the wine market I know best.
À la vôtre !
