In France, some of the produce from the vineyards will be collected and the rest will be destroyed.
According to Qadin.Net, this was reported by The Times.
According to the report, the reason is a sharp decline in demand for champagne.
It is reported that producers who received 90 percent of the varieties "Chardonnay", "Pino-Noir" and "Pino-Menye" demanded only eight tons per hectare.
This is 22 percent less than last year. As a result, the remaining 1/5 of the product will be destroyed.
It was also noted that sales of LVMH, which owns well-known champagne brands, fell by 30 percent due to the pandemic.
