Wine in decline?
Manage episode 478509545 series 1301443
We're in Chile, where it’s grape harvesting time and vineyard workers are busy cleaning their barrels to make way for new batches.
The South American country has more than a thousand different varieties of grapes, but it’s proving hard to reach a new generation of wine drinkers.
It’s not just young people drinking less. Around the world wine production is in decline. This is often due climate change causing extreme droughts which affects harvests.
How do wine-producing countries like Chile respond - and keep the industry thriving?
Presented and produced by Jane Chambers
