Our glorious spring in 2011 has helped to make France the world’s top wine producer.
“France will overtake Italy to reclaim its title as the worlds’ top wine producer of 2011, according to the International Organisaion of Vine and Wine (OIV)”.
“Helped by good weather, France’s 2011 production is forecast to rise by 9% allowing it to regain the crown. An exceptionally warm spring gave some producers a head start, according to an agriculture ministry report”.
