According to the ‘Impact of Covid-19 on the Wine Value-Chain Survey’ conducted by industry body Vinpro among wine grape producers, wineries and other wine-related businesses in early July, 58% of the 549 respondents indicated that their businesses would have to make drastic changes over the next year to be able to overcome the current challenges related to Covid-19, and 22% will in all probability not be able to survive at all.
