Repeated heatwaves caused an early harvest of wine grapesAfter several heatwaves, the wine makers all over #Europe discovered that their crops are ready for the harvest, which they started at the early August. Usually the harvest takes place is September.This is the earliest harvest for the last 500 years. The grapes are sun-bleached, browned, and weigh 30% less than usual, with reduced juice volume but extra sugar instead - meaning the vine will be stronger than usual.
