The harvest in Castilla-La Mancha is projected to yield between 19.5 and 20 million hectoliters of wine and must, marking a 10% decrease from the previous year due to high temperatures and rainfall scarcity. The reduced yield is balanced by increased storage in Italy and France, but initial stocks could impact the European market. The focus is on producing quality wines and grape juice, with the latter being a potential opportunity due to spring frosts reducing fruit availability in Europe. Despite market calmness, long-term purchases are on hold, awaiting the harvest outcomes from major European wine-producing countries.
