French wine industry facing historic low harvest after extreme summer heat

The French wine industry is facing a historic low harvest due to extreme summer heatwaves. This is because the heat has damaged the grape crops, resulting in a lower yield than usual. The harvest is expected to be down 2% on last year's mediocre yield, which was the lowest in nearly 70 years. This decline in the harvest will likely have a significant impact on the French wine industry, potentially affecting wine prices and exports.
