taly and the US are expected to drive a modest rebound in global wine production in 2025, according to a new report from the International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV). In its first estimates for 2025, the OIV has forecast global wine production to reach between 228 and 235 million hectolitres (mhl).
Its mid-range estimate of around 232 mhl marks a 3% hike on weak 2024 harvest volumes, but which is still 7% below the five year global average. According to OIV’s initial estimates, Italy is set to remain the largest wine producer worldwide, with production volumes estimated to sit at 47.4mhl, an 8% increase on last year.
