There are no current bulk wine prices available from Italy. However, based on data from the Med.&A. Broker Association and the UIV Wine Observatory, the Osservatorio del Vino has published initial grape prices via LinkedIn as an indicator. Prices, particularly in Apulia, for generic red (–27%) and white (–30%) grapes are significantly lower than last year. IGP grapes (Sangiovese, Trebbiano) from Apulia are experiencing a similar fall in price. On the other hand, prices for Veneto Pinot Grigio have risen by around 10%, while Glera grapes have seen a slight decrease (–4%), although the trend is generally upward.
In Spain, estimates now suggest a harvest volume of around 43m hl, with good quality expected—excluding the eastern regions. Official prices are not yet available, and we can only provide price estimates from experts. In France, a harvest of just under 40m hl is expected, but unlike Spain, this would be considered quite low.
