Over 5,400 applications for aid worth 109.8 million euros have been submitted by French winegrowers to remove nearly 27,500 hectares of vineyards. Recipients of this aid, amounting to 4,000 euros per hectare, will be prohibited from obtaining replanting authorizations for the uprooted areas for the next six winegrowing campaigns. The deadline for completing the uprooting and declaration in the computerised wine register is 2 June 2025, following which payment of the aid will be processed. This initiative, part of up to 120 million euros in subsidies approved by the European Commission in October, aims to support winegrowers facing the economic impacts of the Ukraine war.
