L’Italie est redevenue cette année le premier pays producteur de vin, devant la France qui avait la pole position en 2014, selon les dernières estimations annoncées mercredi par l’Organisation internationale du vin.                                                                             This year Italy has regained first place as world producer, ahead of France which had the pole position in 2014, according to the latest estimates announced on Wednesday by the International Wine Organisation.

La France et l’Italie sont toujours au coude à coude en matière de production viticole. Cette année, selon les dernières projections de l’Organisation internationale du vin (OIV), ce sont les Italiens qui emportent la palme mondiale avec 49,9 millions d’hectolitres. L’Espagne arrive en troisième position et loin derrière les deux premiers pays avec 36,6 millions d’hectolitres.France and Italy are still elbow to elbow in vine growing production.This year, as per the latest projections of the Intl Wine Org it is the Italians who carried off the World prize with 49.9 million hectolitres, Spain came in third position and a long way off the top two with 36.6 million hectolitres.

Un gros coup de collier en Italie. A big medal coup for Italy.

La France, sur la deuxième marche du podium, n’est pas loin de l’Italie avec 47,4 millions d’hectolitres. La viticulture dans l’Hexagone a même vu sa production augmenter cette année, de 1%, une hausse qu’avait annoncée le ministère de l’Agriculture début octobre, mais la progression chez les voisins italiens a été bien supérieure puisqu’elle atteint 10% par rapport à l’an passé. Ces évaluations présentées par l’OIV se situent d’ailleurs dans un contexte de hausse de 2% de la production mondiale. Une augmentation particulièrement remarquée au Chili, avec un bond de 23%.

France is on the second step of the podium, not far behind Italy with 47.4 million hectolitres. French mainland wine producers have seen their production rise by 1% this year, a rise that was announced by the minister of Agriculture at the start of October, but the progress of neighbours Italy was much superior being close reaching 10% compared to last year. These results are presented in the context of world wine production increasing by 2%. A remarkable increase is seen in Chili, with a bounce of 23%.

Le marché est “équilibré”

La production est-elle en accord avec la demande ? Il semble que oui selon l’OIV qui a étudié à la fois les besoins en consommation et les nécessités pour l’industrie qui fabrique par exemple le vinaigre et le vermouth. Les vignes aux quatre coins du monde auraient produit cette année 275,7 millions d’hectolitres, alors que l’OIV estime la demande un peu en deçà. Des calculs qui font dire à l’organisme que “l’équilibre du marché est assuré”. Et s’il est toujours question d’estimations, c’est que la Chine et la Russie n’ont pas encore envoyé leurs données à l’OIV. Toutefois, leurs chiffres de production ne changeront rien au peloton de tête. La Chine était classée 8e producteur mondial l’an passé et la Russie 12e.

About bill

Worked in the technical / engineering area as a Science Laboratory Technician and as an Aeronautics Engineer. The artistic side involves writing under the nom de plume of Billy Olsenn, his recently written play 'A Case of Wine' was staged by the players group Straight Make-Up at the 2012 Birr one act drama festival. It's next staging was in the one act circuit is in Cavan, at Maudebawn on Sat 10 Nov 2012. Then it was performed in the Bray, Co.Wicklow at the very popular one act festival in January 2013. Next play is FEAR. A dark tale about revenge on the cruel death of two pensioners by young thugs. Neighbours hatch a devious and dangerous plan to exact old-style revenge. Bill is a member of the Drama League of Ireland and his plays have been critically vetted and certified as original pieces of work by the DLI. Another literary project is that of commemoration of an aircraft crash on Djouce mountain in Wicklow in 1946. Bill wrote articles for the 50th, 60th and most recently the 70th anniversary, (12 Aug 2016) all were published in the Wicklow Times and ensured the survivors of the crash, all French Girl Guides, were not forgotten. Articles reproduced on this website. But mostly this site gives a more general European and specific French slant on popular and not so popular articles of French news, translated to English by the author. Each article is translated on a paragraph by paragraph basis so easy to read in either language and even possible to improve either language by comparison of the short English and French paragraphs. Amusez vous bien. The author is currently writing an easy to read technical aviation book centered around the Fokker 50. Another interest is that dealt with in another of Bill's websites www.realnamara.net, a Statue of the mother of God, Mary. It was erected in 1972 in Dublin, at the end of the Bull Wall near Clontarf, and my grandfather William Nelson, was the main instigator of that project. I give talks on the history of the statue and my grandfather's adventurous and dangerous life at sea. Technical assistance with each website is by J O'N.
