Why is the French wine industry struggling?
We鈥檙e in Bordeaux, where winemakers are facing difficult decisions.
The region of Bordeaux in the south-west of France is perhaps the most famous wine-producing area in the world.
But it鈥檚 struggling. While the prestigious, most expensive wines 鈥� Saint-脡milions, Pomerols and Margaux are selling well, others are not.
For the producers of the 850 million bottles of the region's famous red wine, it鈥檚 a difficult time due to a major decline in consumption.
We look at the reasons for this, the impact it鈥檚 having, and what winemakers are doing to help protect their livelihoods.
