The volume of wine production, around 7.4 million hectoliters, still represents a year-on-year increase of 12% compared to the average of the last five campaigns, says the IVV in a statement.

According to the institute's forecasts, resulting from the consultation made to the representative Regional Entities, the Douro (+10%) and Lisbon (+10%) regions are the ones that show the greatest increases in volume compared to the last campaign, with increases greater than 100,000 hectoliters.

In the Dão region "a variation in production is not expected", emphasizes the IVV, while in the Madeira region the forecast points to a slight decrease (-1%) compared to the 2022/2023 campaign.

The IVV also points out that the 8% increase in wine production, compared to the previous campaign (2022/2023), is due to the fact that 12 regions have registered growth in volume (hectoliters).

The data collected by the IVV also indicate that, in general, the grapes have a “good phytosanitary state”, allowing, therefore, to foresee a “good quality production”, subject, however, to the climatic conditions that occur until the harvest, reads in the statement.
