South Africa's 2019 wine harvest set to hit lowest in more than a decade

Description

According to Reuters, an industry report said on Monday that South Africa, the world’s eighth largest wine producer, is expected to harvest its smallest amount of wine grapes in 14 years this year, as dry conditions and fluctuating weather hit output. The report by Vinpro, which represents 2,500 South African wine grape producers, wineries and wine-related businesses said the crop would be 1.4 percent smaller than 2018’s harvest of 1,238,000 tonnes and the lowest output since 2005’s 1,171,632 tonnes. However it’s not all sour grapes for wine lovers, with the 2019 wine quality expected to be good as smaller grape berries tend to have a greater concentration of flavors

Spain won, and in doing so became bound to a country with which it had previously shared little history. The competition began on 11 June 2010. A month later, the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg — since renamed the FNB Stadium — was packed again for the final. FOOTAGE OF NELSON MANDELA'S STATUE IN MANDELA'S SQUARE IN JOHANNESBURG AND OF THE SOCCER CITY/FNB STADIUM.
