EU calls for members to join wine-policy group.

The European Union (EU) has called on member states to join a wine-policy group to address challenges and opportunities in the wine sector. The High-Level Group on Wine Policy will discuss issues such as declining consumption and climate change and propose solutions. The EU estimates that its wine sector creates 31 billion full-time jobs and contributes around €130bn ($141.84bn) to its GDP. Wine consumption has been falling globally, including in EU countries like France, Italy, and Germany. Some experts suggest that a lack of branding may be contributing to the decline in global wine consumption. [Extracted from the article]
