Die Weinernte in Deutschland fällt in diesem Jahr voraussichtlich besser aus als im sehr schwachen Vorjahr. Die absehbare Erntemenge liegt bei 8,2 Millionen Hektoliter Weinmost - fünf Prozent höher als 2024.

Overview

  • The projection sits about 3% below the 2019–2024 average and could change as final harvesting and late-season conditions unfold.
  • Many regions are rebounding versus 2024, including Mosel (+44%), Württemberg (+34%), Baden (+24%), Franken (+30%), Nahe (+30%) and Saale-Unstrut (+275%).
  • Rheinhessen and the Pfalz together account for just over half of expected output at 2.2 million and 2.0 million hectoliters, yet both are seen lower year over year (‑14% and ‑11%), with the Rheingau down 7%.
  • White must is estimated at 69% of volume and red at 31%, with Riesling leading at roughly 1.9 million hectoliters, up 3% from 2024.
  • Varietal shifts include gains for Blauer Spätburgunder (+21% to 851,000 hl), Weißer Burgunder (+16% to 529,000 hl) and Grauer Burgunder (+10% to 638,000 hl), while Müller-Thurgau (-12% to 932,000 hl) and Dornfelder (-18% to 574,000 hl) are expected to decline.
