France to pay €120 million to uproot 30,000 hectares of vineyards

euronews.com

The French government has submitted a €120 million plan to uproot 30,000 hectares of the country’s vineyards in response to a shrinking wine sector.

The plan, created by the state, the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and the Bordeaux Wine Interprofessional Counsel, will uproot 30,000 of the nation’s 800,000 hectares of vineyards.

It’s part of a wider plan by the Ministry of Agriculture to uproot as much as 100,000 hectares. The Gironde department has already begun to reduce its vineyards by 8,000 hectares.

Vineyard owners have been offered as much as €4,000 per hectare they allow the government to uproot. Those who accept the offers aren’t allowed replant vines on the same land until at least 2029.
