Because winegrowers have to spend more money on energy, fertilizers and glass bottles, wine from the Württemberg growing region is likely to become more expensive. This was explained by the managing director of the winegrowers’ association, Hermann Morast, on Thursday in Weinsberg (Heilbronn district). He did not give any more details about possible increases. Morast expects a yield of between 100 and 110 million liters from the current harvest.
All in all, the association expects that despite the drought and the severe sunburn, depending on the variety, the grape volume of an average vintage can be harvested.
