A,
INTRODUCTION
The Member States are required under Article 30c of Council Regulation (EEC)
No 337/79 of 5 February 1979 to report to the Commission each year, in  
principle before 1 September, on trends in their wine-growing potential.
These reports are to be based primarily on two series of statistical data.
- The first consists of information collected by Member States from the  
declarations by wine growers on grubbing operations, new plantings and.  
replantings actually carried out, as required by Article 30b of the basic  
Regulation referred to above. It should be mentioned that the  
declarations of grubbing and planting intentions proved inadequate as a  
basis for assessing future trends in wine-growing potential and the Council  
amended the basic Regulation on this point in December 1981.
- The results of annual statistical surveys of areas under vines as provided  
for in Council Regulation (EEC) No 357/79 of 5 February 1979.
Using the information supplied by the Member States, the Commission is  
required to forward a report to the Council each year, in principle before  
1 December, on future trends in wine-growing potential, the balance between  
production potential (areas of vineyards in production and yield per hectare)  
and consumption of all kinds, and to assess future trends in this balance.
This report is intended to fulfil the latter purpose. It should, however, be  
stressed, as it has been in previous reports, that the failure of some Member  
States to transmit the data needed to draw up this report or to transmit the  
data by the deadline, together with the difficulty of comparing statistics  
which may not be of similar type or refer to the same periods, have caused the

- 2 -
Commission to undertake a cross-sectional analysis of the various factors  
influencing the balance of supply and demand in the 1980/81 wine year and,  
where more recent statistics were available, the 1981/82 wine year. The  
Commission will only be able to make a more detailed assessment of the impact  
of new plantings, replantings and grubbing operations on future production  
once all the Member States have undertaken the basic statistical surveys of  
surface area under vines by type of production and category of yield and once  
these figures have been brought up to date, for the first time and in a  
uniform fashion, for the whole of the Community.
As in previous years, this report is divided into three sections devoted to 
trends in the area under vines in the Community (Section i), the market  
situation (Section II) abd the developement of intra-Community and external  
trade (Section III).
Note:  The statistical tables attached to this report include figures for
Greece from the 1971/72 wine year onwards.

I. ABEA UNDER VINES IN THE COMMUNITY
This Section will deal in turn with trends in the total area under vines in  
the Community by major types of production (wine grapes, table grapes, dried  
grapes) and trends in the area devoted to wine grapes in the main producer  
countries, based on statistics supplied by the Member States to the  
Statistical Office of the European Communities (EUROSTAT) or the Commission  
under Community rules and, more particularly, on the supply balances for wine  
(finalized balance for 1980/81 and provisional balance for 1981/82).
A. Trends in the total area under vines in the Community
1. Vines producing wine grapes
The 1980/81 wine year saw the first general application of the series  
of structural measures adopted by the Council of agriculture ministers  
at the beginning of 1980 as part of the 1980-85 action programme for  
the wine sector. These are: premiums for temporarily or permanently
giving up vineyards and for refraining from replanting, premiums for  
giving up wine-growing enterprises in Prance and Italy, and measures to  
restructure vineyards under collective projects.
The combined effects of these various structural measures, the  
extension of the ban on new plantings to 30 November 1986, and the  
individual measures adopted for the wine-growing areas covered by  
Directives 78/627/EEC (Languedoc-Roussillon Directive) and 79/359/EEC  
(Charentes Directive) make it reasonable to expect in the medium term  
that the wine-growing area will adjust to a level consonant with the  
requirements of the market, particularly considering the noticeable  
contraction after the first measures were adopted in 1976, which has  
been consistently confirmed since then. The total area in the  
Community under vines producing wine grapes fell from 2.664*676 ha in  
1976/77 (figures for Greece included) to 2.494*715 ha in 1980/81. This

- 2 -
marked drop in vineyard area - 169*961 ha over the whole of the period  
or an average of 42.500 ha a year - continued in 1981/82 but at a  
slower pace. In the latter year, in all the producer countries of the  
Community except Greece, for which the Commission has no figures, the  
total vineyard area went down by 51*345 ha compared with a drop of  
44*303 ha in 1980/81 (see Table l). Altogether, the area devoted to  
the production of wine grapes has undergone a net decrease of over  
200.000 ha since 1976. As will be seen later in the sections dealing  
with the wine-growing areas in each of the Member States, this decrease  
mainly took place in France up to 1980/81, with two peaks in 1978/79  
(58.202 ha from a total 66.413 ha) and 1980/81 (38.987 ha from a total  
44*303 ha); the contracion in Italy has been less pronounced, with an  
acceleration apparent only since 1981/82 (15*782 ha as against 2.148 ha  
in 1980/81 and 9*124 ha in 1979/80), and the same applies to vineyard  
area in Greece. The average yield of Community vineyards fluctuated  
at around 63 hi per hectare of vines in production in 1976-81 (see  
Table 2), so that it is estimated that a drop in the area under vines  
of the order of 40.000 ha a year will bring about a corresponding fall  
in production of about 2,5 million hi. Examination of only those  
areas not yet in production confirms this trend. They totalled  
148.959 ha in 1976/77 and only 89.080 ha in 1980/81 (- 40,2$), which is  
an average decrease of 14*970 ha a year over the period. The slight  
increase again in 1981/82 (+ 1.019 ha excluding Greece, or + 1,20$)  
does not seem likely to hold up this decline, although here there are  
differences between Member States.

- 3 -
2. Vines producing table grapes
The total area in the Community under vines producing table grapes has  
followed much the same pattern. Whereas the total area in 1976/77 was  
132.561 ha (including figures for Greece), of which 7*136 ha were not  
in production, the overall figure was only 126.701 ha in 1980/81 (down  
by 5*860 ha or 4*42$), with 5*092 ha not in production (down by  
1.276 ha or 28,6$). This decrease has mainly been due to the  
continued contraction of the area under table grapes in France, which  
went down in the same period from 39*093 ba - including 932 ha not in  
production - to 34*667 ha (- 11,33$)* including 577 ha not in  
production (- 38,09$)· In the other two producer countries, Italy and  
Greece, the area has tended to stabilize at an average 71*000 ha  
(Italy) and 20.000 ha (Greece), although there have been signs of a  
slight increase again in Italy since 1978/79 as shown in Table 3*
3* Vines producing grapes for drying
This sector is a completely new form of vine cultivation in the  
Community since it involves only Greece, which became a member of the  
Community on 1 January 1981. It is a significant sector in economic  
terms, however. The area used for the production of dried grapes,  
63*377 ha, represents 34$ of the total area under vines in Greece, and  
the amount of dried grapes produced (annual average of 140.000 t in  
1978-82) is slightly more than 20$ of world output.
The available statistics (see Table 4) show that the area involved is  
tending to contract, with a drop of 12.165 ha over ten years, the  
impact being greater on vineyeard producing currant grapes than on  
those producing sultana grapes.

B. The wine-growing area in the main wine-producing Member States
1. Germany: alight expansion in the area under vines
The last report stressed the reversal in trend which seemed discernible  
in Germany, with the total area under vines for wine production showing  
a marked drop from 102.125 ha in 1978/79 to 95*578 ha in 1979/80  
(- 6,41$)· However, later figures have shown that the decline was  
only apparent and probably due to the introduction of a new method of  
processing the statistics collected by the Lander in connection with  
the basic survey of areas under vines required by Regulation (EEC)
No 557/79. Despite what the figures seemed to show, the wine-growing  
area in Germany has not in fact contracted. At the same time, the  
change between 1979/80 and 1980/81 (+ 108 ha or + 0,10$) was less  
significant than in 1981/82 when the annual average increase (up  
2.111 ha to 97.797 ha or + 2,20$) was more in line with the rate in  
previous wine years.
The area under vines but not yet in production has followed a similar  
pattern. While the trend after 1974/75 was downward because there  
were not new plantings of vines for quality wines p.s.r. except in  
connection with land reparcelling, since 1981/82 the area of vineyards  
not yet in production has increased again (+ 2.589 ha compared with  
1980/81 or + 41,75$).

- 5 -
2. France: area contracting at a slower rate
The total area under vines in France fell by 83*987 ha in 1980/81  
compared with the previous wine year (- 3,31$) and continued to  
contract in 1981/82 but at a slower rate (- 17*670 ha or - 1,55$), to a  
level of 1.121.110 ha.
The area under vines not yet in production is 43*160 ha, compared with  
43*301 in 1980/81 (- 0,32$) and 47*125 ha in 1979/80 (- 8,11$). This  
drop in production potential has been linked directly with the new  
scheme of aid for voluntary conversion of vineyards introduced by  
Regulation (EEC) No 456/80, some of the provisions of which were  
initially confined to the eight Mediterranean departments covered by  
the Languedoc-Roussilon Directive but were later extended to all the  
wine-growing regions in France from 1 September 1980.
The national figures (l) show for example that, in the single wine year  
1980/81, almost 41*000 ha of vines were grubbed up in France as part of  
the various conversion and restructuring measures provided for in  
Community legislation: 6.500 ha under Council Directive 78/627/EEC of
19 June 1978 (Languedoc-Roussillon Directive), 2.700 ha under Council  
Directive 79/359/EEC of 26 March 1979 (Charentes Directive) and  
31.600 ha under Council Regulation (EEC) No 456/80 of 18 February 1980.
Over the whole period 1976-1982, the area under wine-producing vines in  
France has fallen by almost 149*000 ha, an annual average of almost  
25*000 ha.
n r  See in particular the annual report on the wine sector by the French
Central Tax Office, 1980/81 statistics, page 26.

3· Italy; marked drop in total area
The fall in the total area under vines in Italy which began in 1977/78  
has continued at a faster rate. Wine-growing accounted for  
1.157.530 ha in 1980/81 compared with 1.159.678 ha in 1979/80  
(- 2.148 ha or - 0,18$) and in 1981/82 there was a further drop of  
15*782 ha (- 1,36$).
This marked decline has mainly been due to the fact that the Community  
system of aid to encourage temporary or permanent withdrawal from  
wine-growing and commitments not to replant, introduction of which in  
Italy was delayed, has now begun to take effect.
The area under vines not yet in production has shown much the same  
pattern. After averaging 46.654 ha in 1976-1980, it has declined by  
4,04$ from 35.659 ha in 1980/81 to 34-216 ha in 1981/82 (- 1.443 ha).
4. Luxembourg: little change
The total area devoted to wine production in Luxembourg was 1.283 ha in  
1979/80, a level very close to the average of the preceding five wine  
years (1.289 ha), but has stabilized at 1.313 ha since 1980/81. The  
area under vines not in production has increased slightly during the  
same period, though the increase was larger in 1980/81 (+36 ha) than  
1981/82 (+ 14 ha).
5· Greece: slow but steady contraction in vineyard area
The Commission's staff has regular figures for the new Member State  
covering the period from 1971/72. At that time, vineyards devoted to  
wine covered a total area of 116.833 ha, of which 4*286 ha were not in  
production. By 1980/81 the area had fallen to only 101.395 ha, a  
decline of 15*438 ha over the period in question, giving an annual  
average contraction of 1.700 ha. This steady fall was more marked in  
1980/81, with a decline of 3*306 ha over 1979/80 (- 3,16$).

The area under vines not yet in production is also falling slowly,
accounting for 4*034 ha in 1980/81 compared with 4.286 ha in 1971/72
(- 5,88$).
Although no figures are available for 1981/82, it is probable that  
these trends will continue as a result, in particular, of the  
structural measures adopted by the Community at the beginning of 1980;  
these are now being implemented in Greece.
The general decline apparent in most of the wine-producing Member  
States since 1976, especiallly in France and Italy and more recently in  
Greece, can be accounted a success of the Community's structural  
policy. It will be recalled that the first set of measures adopted in  
1976 led to the conversion of some 85*000 ha of vineyards, divided  
equally between Italy and France, and that under the 1978 Directive  
covering the Mediterranean regions of France a further 25*000 ha have  
been converted and 25*000 ha restructured; finally, the 1979 Directive  
covering the Charentes region has led to the conversion of 6.000 ha  
away from wine-growing.
The various measures have been supplemented, of course, by those  
adopted in 1980 with the aim of gradually balancing the wine market  
(1980-86 action programme); however, it is still too early to gauge  
their impact because of the time needed to implement them properly,  
particularly in Italy and Greece. As to the restructuring of  
vineyards under collective projects, the schemes approved by the  
Commission under the 1982 budget covered 22.202 ha, with almost  
18.815 ha in France, 2.472 ha in Italy and 834 ha in Germany.7

II. MARKET SITUATION
This section deals in turn with trends in overall wine production and demand  
in the Community as shown in the 1980/81 (final) and 1981/82 (provisional)  
supply balances and with price movements and Community intervention during the  
same period.
A. Overall supply and demand in the Community
1. Wine production in the Community (see Tables 5-11) came to
163.9 million hi in 1980/81 (1980 harvest), making it the fourth  
largest annual figure after the harvests of 1979 (182,4 million hi),  
1973 (175,6 million hi) and 1974 (165,8 million hi); taking table  
wines only, it was the third largest figure at 125,0 million hi,  
compared with 129,5 million hi in 1979 and 182,1 million hi in 1973*  
Production in Italy was unusually high for the second year running,  
with almost 84 million hi (table wine accounting for
72.9 million hi). In the other main wine-producing Member States,  
with the exception of Greece, there was a marked drop in output  
(France - 17,24$, Germany - 43,8$, Luxembourg - 19,3$). Although  
the 1980 harvest was 18,6 million hi lower than the record level of  
1979, it was still higher overall than average production over the last  
ten years (153 million hi).
The 1981 harvest, on the other hand, at 140,0 million hi, was close to  
the statistical average and could even be considered low, particularly  
in terms of table wine (103,5 million hi). However, this overall  
assessment conceals very different trends in the producing regions.  
Production dropped sharply in both France and Italy.

The figures for Germany and Luxembourg are unusual because 1980 had  
seen a heavy drop in production.

Luxembourg 93*000 hi 50.000 hi 97-000 hi + 94 $
Greece maintained production in 1981 (5,5 million hi) at much the same  
level as 1980 (5 ,4 million hi).
Followiong the marked decline in 1981/8 2,  which was mainly due to bad  
weather, Community wine production increased again in 1982/83 (1982  
vintage). The forecast balance for 1982/83 suggests that output will
be close to 1 6 9 ,7 million hi, almost 3 0 million hi up on the 1981  
vintage (+ 21,2$). There has been a significant recovery in Prance,  
with estimates being successively revised up to a figure of  
79»2 million hi compared with 57,3 million hi in 1981 (+ 38,2$). This  
is the third largest vintage of this centuary in Prance, ranking behind  
1979 (84,1 million hi) and 1973 (82,9 million hi). Quality is 
generally very good and quality wines p.s.r. have reached a record  
level of 20,6 million hi. In the South of France, on the other hand,  
production of table wine has been average. Production in Italy is put  
at 7 1 ,2 million hi despite a significant drop in table wine production  
in the main growing regions of the south as a result of the drought.
Here again, it is expected that quality will be good and that quality  
wines p.s.r. will account for about 12$ of output. In Germany,  
production has more than doubled to reach the record figure of  
15,1 million hi. Production in Luxembourg has virtually tripled,  
rising from 9 7 * 0 0 0 hi in 1981 to 275*000  hi in 1 9 8 2,  overtaking the  
previous record of 1971 (242.000 hi). By contrast, Greece has seen a  
noticeable fall in production overall from 5 ,5 million hi in 1981 to

- 10 -
4>5 million hi (- 18$). However, the share of quality wines p.s.r. in  
total production has gone up from 300.000 hi in 1981 (5,4$) to  
400.000 hi (8,9%).
These figures show that production of wine fluctuates considerably from  
one wine year to another as well as between regions, making it very  
difficult to make accurate assessments of medium-term production  
targets or to arrive at reliable forecasts. Nevertheless, there is no  
doubt from the statistics that the trend of production since 1971/72  
has been upward (annual growth rate + 0,56$). By extrapolating this  
trend, it is possible - at least as far as table wines are concerned -  
to make two predictions for the period up to 1989:
- A stabilization of wine production in the Community at a level  
roughly equal to the present average of 110 million hi as a combined  
result of the various structural measures taken in 1976 and after,  
supplemented in 1980 under the 1980-86 action programme and by the  
new instruments for managing the market introduced in 1982.
- A slight increase in production because the aid recently introduced  
for concentrated and rectified concentrated grape musts used in wine  
enrichment may produce some increase in yields; production would  
then reach 117 million hi (annual growth rate + 0,29$) over the next  
few years.
It is necessary to add to this figure for table wine about  
40 million hi of wine not eligible for marketing aid (quality wines  
p.s.r. and wines with registered designations of origin used in making  
spirits).

- 11 -
2. Total demand for wine in the Community (see Tables 30-34)
In contrast to production, Community wine consumption in all forms has  
been falling by 0,75# a year since 1971/72. It is true that the  
figures for 1979/80 suggested a slight recovery, but this was due to  
greater direct human consumption, particularly by producers themselves  
as normally happens in years of high production, and to an increase in  
the amount of wine distilled without Community financial support. In  
the Cognac production area, the volume of wine for distillation reached  
13»0 million hi in 1979 compared with 7,6 million hi in 1978 (+ 70,3#)»  
with non-subsidized distillation accounting for almost 11,7 million hi.
Internal consumption of wine for all purposes went down from  
1 4 4 ,3 million hi in 1979/80 to 140,9 million hi in 1980/81 (- 2,33#)  
and to 135,9 million hi in 1981/82 (- 3,54#)· These figures do not  
include wine distilled under Community intervention schemes, which  
accounted for 22,9 million hi in 1980/81 and 1 3 ,8 million hi in  
1981/82. As will be seen later, in the section on prices and  
intervention, the large-scale intervention by the Community in the  
market for ordinary wines in 1980/81 was due, among other things, to  
the tense trading relations between France and Italy in this sector,  
which became very serious in the summer of 1981.
Direct human consumption in 1980/81 accounted for 127,4 million hi of  
wine compared with 129,5 million hi in 1979/80 (- 1,54#)· The trend  
was confirmed by the 1981/82 figure of 124,6 million hi (- 2,19#).

- 12 -
This continuing drop in direct human consumption is attributable mainly  
to the decline in consumption in the two main wine-producing Member  
States, France and Italy, which has not been offset by the slight  
increases in other countries. In France, for example, consumption of  
wine per head per year, which averaged 97 litres in 1976-80, was down  
to 92 litres in 1980/81 and 89 litres in 1981/82. The same pattern  
has occurred in Italy: an average of 89 litres per head per year in  
1976-80, 87 litres in 1980/81 and 84 litres in 1981/82.
If one excludes wine distilled with financial support from the  
Community under Articles 11, 12a, 15, 39» 40 and 41 of Regulation (EEC)  
No 337/79» the quantities processed into vinous spirits of registered  
designation, vinegar, vermouth, etc. amounted to 12,4 million hi in  
1980/81 as against 1 3 ,7 million hi in 1979/80 (- 9,48#) and  
10,4 million hi in 1981/82 (- 16,12$). The forecast balance for  
1982/83 suggests that the level in the current wine year will be around  
9,6 million hi (- 7,5# compared with the previous year). More than  
90# of this wine has been distilled without Community financial support.

13
Against this, if one includes wine distilled with Community support,  
which in 1980/81 reached the very high level of 22,9 million hi, the  
total amount of wine processed (35»3 million hi) was up by 10,6$ on  
1979/80. The total figure for 1981/82 (provisional) is  
24*2 million hi, and for 1982/83 (forecast) it is 23,4 million hi.
Taking total Community consumption for all purposes, i.e. including  
Community distillation schemes, the Community's self-sufficiency was  
100,0$ in 1980/81 compared with 112,2$ in 1979/80. The rate goes up  
from 100,0$ to 116,3$ (126,4$ in 1979/80) if the wine covered by the  
various distillation schemes is left out of account. The figures in  
the provisional balance for 1981/82 show that the rate has returned to  
103,0$ (93,5$ if distillation schemes are included). In 1982/83,  
bearing in mind the 21,2$ increase in production over 1981/82, the  
Community's self-sufficiency level is put in the forecast balance at  
approximately 123$ (112$ if distillation eligible for EAGGF aid is  
included, such operations accounting for an estimated 13,7 million hi).
If the trends described above are extrapolated, i.e. the overall  
decline in Community consumption of wine for all purposes over the last  
ten years, the continuing fall in table wine consumption in France and  
Italy, and the slight increase in table wine consumption in the other  
Member States, it is estimated that total demand for wine in the  
Community in 1989 would be somewhere around 128 million hi compared  
with the present figure of 136 million hi. Since it may be assumed  
that consumption of quality wines will continue to increase, the  
decline in consumption of table wines is likely to become more  
marked. In other words, the gap between production and consumption  
will probably continue to widen even if the structural measures  
recently adopted by the Community contain or halt the rise in  
production.

B. Prices and Community intervention  
1. 1980/81 wine year
There was an average increase of 5,5$ in institutional guide prices for  
all types of wine in 1980/81 compared with the previous wine year.
Prices in France for red table wines of RI type were relatively stable  
throughout the wine year, with annual averages being generally more  
than 4$ up on previous prices. Prices for Italian wines, on the other  
hand, fell to very low levels with annual average differences compared  
with previous prices of between 12% and 31$·
In the case of red table wines of type RII, prices quoted at Bastia,  
the only French market referred to, were also fairly stable but at a  
level slightly below that of the previous wine year. Italian price  
quotations, reported mainly from Bari at fairly irregular intervals,  
were low throughout the year and ended at their lowest level. Annual  
average market prices were down by between 1% and 20% on prices of the  
previous wine year.
French prices for white table wines of type AI stayed at a very high  
level throughout the wine year. The annual averages were up by  
between 21% and 33$ on the previous year. Prices quoted in Italy, on
the other hand, were down by between 5$ and 10$ on average; prices  
eroded up to April 1981 but recovered slightly towards the end of the  
wine year. There were few price quotations from Greece because of the  
small volumes being marketed but they were generally at a level close  
to the activating price.
The divergent trends in prices on French and Italian markets for all  
types of wine opened up a considerable gap in price terms between the  
two countries, leading to a tense situation which culminated in a  
critical phase in August 1981.

- 15 -
The market situation of German table wines of all types remained good  
throughout the year. Prices quoted for type RII wines in the first  
three months of the year were up 26$ on previous prices. Prices for  
types All and AIII also rose steadily.
The size of availabilities at the beginning of the year (carryover  
stocks of 94,1 million hi and a vintage of 163,9 million hi) and the  
resulting low level of prices caused the Community to avail itself of  
the various intervention measures in the legislation as it had in  
1979/80. At the beginning of the wine year, it was decided to  
institute "guaranteed" distillation (restricted to holders of long-term  
storage contracts concluded during the previous wine year) and  
preventive distillation. During the year, in addition to short-term  
and long-term private storage aid, it was decided to introduce "extra  
by-products distillation" (distillation of amounts additional to normal  
compulsory distillation of wine-making by-products). In addition to  
this, to meet the collapse of prices in Italy which had led to a sharp  
increase in consignments of Italian wine to Prance and eventually to  
serious difficulties between the two main wine-growing countries  
despite the action taken, the Council decided to start an "exceptional"  
distillation operation in May 1981. In the light of the extreme  
turmoil which continued on the market, eligibility for this scheme was  
widened in 1981 with the result that a total of 6 million hi were  
withdrawn from the market.
This meant that the quantity of wine distilled with Community financial  
support reached the very high level of 22,9 million hi during 1980/81  
compared with 18,2 million hi (+ 25,8$) in the previous year.
Altogether, 14 million hi were distilled in Italy; this was 60$ of the
volume distilled in the Community as a whole and included
5,2 million hi under the exceptional distillation scheme alone. In

- 16 -
France, where 8,7 million hi were distilled, the major part came under  
the special price support guarantee scheme, namely 6,9 million hi  
(79»3$)· The monthly average quantity of wine covered by private
storage contracts was much the same as in the previous year. This was  
around 28,1 million hi compared with 27,1 million hi in the previous  
year; the maximum in any one month was 42,7 million hi  
(41,7 million hi in 1979/80).
Export refunds granted during the same period (September 1980 to  
August 1981) accounted for 2,31 million hi.
In budget terms, these various measures occasioned a marked increase in  
expenditure by the EAGGF Guarantee Section, rising from  
299,5 million ECU under the 1980 budget to 459,4 million ECU under the  
1981 budget (4,10$ of total spending by the Guarantee Section compared  
with 2,65$ in the previous year). This total breaks down, in  
decreasing order of importance, into distillation of wine (68,5$),  
private storage and restorage (19,7$), aid for the use of grape musts  
(6,1$), export refunds (5,6$) and other items 0,1$). This increase in  
the expenditure of the Guarantee Section (53,38$) was greater than the  
increase in quantity distilled (25,8$) and was largely due to faster  
processing of applications with its attendant bunching of payments.
Although the measures taken during 1980/81 did not immediately close  
the gap between French and Italian prices, they kept stocks at the end  
of the year to a level which was still high (91,4 million hi, including  
55,7 million hi in production) but, considering the prospect of a  
below-average vintage in 1981, this suggested a gradual return to a  
healthier market situation.

- 17 -
2. 1981/82 wine year
The 1981/82 increase in guide prices for all table wines was 10,0$  
against the previous year, except for white wines of type AI for which  
the increase was 8,5$·
Price quotations in France for red table wines of type El continued to  
rise up to April and stabilized by July. No prices were reported in  
August because the price committees in the South of France refused to  
give official quotations. Average prices for the year were about 12$  
up on the previous year. Italian prices rose steadily throughout the  
year, the increase between 1981/82 and the previous year ranging  
between 9$ and 58$ depending on reporting market. In Greece, the only  
price quotation for the whole of the year was at 105$ of the guide  
price.
French prices for red table wines of type RII increased up to  
March 1982. No quotations were reported from April onwards because of  
regional objections to the introduction of a national tax on wines  
produced by coupage. However, average prices in the first seven  
months of the year were 16$ up on the previous wine year. Italian  
prices remained fragile until April but firmed thereafter; average  
prices for the year were in the end 8$ up on the previous year.
Prices in France for white table wines of type AI increased throughout  
the year because of the tight supply position; the increases in  
average prices over the previous year were 40$ on the Bordeaux market  
and 50$ on the Nantes market. In Italy, there was a slight  
improvement early in the year which gained strength from March onwards.

- 18 -
Average prices in Italy from the different reporting markets were  
between 13# and 27% on the previous year. Greek price quotations in  
1981/82 averaged around 88# of the guide price compared with 95# in  
1980/81.
Finally, the prices reported for German table wines of types All and  
RIII were considerably up on the previous year (+ 57# for RIII wines;
+ 22# for All wines),  while prices for AIII were slightly down  
(- 5#). Generally, the situation on the German table wine market  
remained good.
In spite of the marked improvement in prices for table wines of  
types AI, RI and RII in France and Italy, average prices ex winery  
stayed below the relevant activating prices, so that the Community  
authorities were obliged - as in 1980/81 - to implement various  
intervention measures available in the legislation; however, this did  
not include extra distillation of by-products.
Nevertheless, the total quantity of wine distilled with Community  
financial support was held down to 13,8 million hi (Italy 9»8; France  
2,9; Greece 1,0). Of this figure, 6,1 million hi were covered by a  
further exceptional distillation scheme introduced in 1982; Italy  
accounted for 4,9 million hi of this sub-total (80,32#).
The average monthly quantity of wine covered by storage contracts fell  
noticeably during the year to 22,3 million hi, the peak being at  
34,3 million hi.
As a result of these measures, average Community prices as a percentage  
of guide prices went from 78# in September 1981 to 83# in August 1982  
in the case of type RI wines, from 76# to 77# in the case of RII wines  
and from 65# to 85# in the case of AI wines.

- 19 -
The above description of price trends disguises the fact that price  
movements varied from one market to another. In Italy, for example,  
average producer prices rose faster than in Prance so that by the end  
of the wine year the disparity between the two markets had been  
considerably reduced, falling from as much as 34# in September 1981 to  
only 7# in December 1982. This significant closing of the price gap  
between the two main markets was probably related to the distillation  
schemes, which had a bigger impact in Italy than in France.
The quantity of wine for which export refunds were paid during 1981/82  
was slightly up on the previous year at 2,40 million hi, compared with  
2,33 million hi in 1981 (+ 3,0#). This is partly explained by the  
fact that the refund rate was raised from 1,05 ECU/# vol/hl to  
1,15 ECU/# vol/hl at the beginning of the wine year and that special  
rates were introduced in April 1982 for liqueur wines other than  
quality wines p.s.r.
Total spending in the wine sector by the EAGGF Guarantee Section was up  
by 24,2# on the previous year. At 570,6 million ECU, it represented  
4,62# of total spending by the Section under the 1982 budget. The  
biggest share was attributable to distillation (68,43#), followed by  
private storage and restorage operations (19#), export refunds (5,59#),  
aid for the processing of grape musts (5,39#) and the financing of  
by-products manufacture (1,59#)· The faster clearance of payments  
already noted for 1980/81 had an even bigger impact in 1981/82.  
Expenditure in connection with distillation was up by 26,86#, while the  
quantities distilled were down by 39,7# (see Tables 35-38).

III. INTRA-COMMUNITY M D  EXTERNAL TRADE
The pattern of intra-Community trade (see Tables 14-18) and external  
trade in wine (see Tables 20-29) during the two wine years reviewed in  
this report confirms previous trends, the main features of which are:
- the large share of intra-Community trade in total trade, namely 61,3% 
in 1980/81 and 80,2$ in 1981/82 compared with 76,6$ in 1979/80 and  
78,6$ in 1978/79;
- a relatively constant level of imports of the order of 5 million hi,  
which is in line with the average during the decade 1970-80, namely  
4»9 million hi in 1980/81 and 5,1 million hi in 1981/82 compared with  
4,9 million hi in 1977/78 and 5,2 million hi in both 1978/79 and  
1979/80;
- a steady growth of exports, namely 6,0 million hi in 1977/78,
7,1 million hi in 1978/79, 8,5 million hi in 1979/80, 8,9 million hi in  
1980/81 and 10,4 million hi in 1981/82.
Exports have exceeded imports for a number of years. The surplus in the  
two wine years under review was 4,0 million hi in 1980/81 and  
5,5 million hi in 1981/82. The forecast figures in the 1982/85 balance  
point to a slight increase in this export surplus to 5»9 million hi.

-  21 -
A. Intra-Community trade
In 1980/81, the overall volume of intra-Community trade reached the record  
figure of 21,4 million hi (+ 24,0$ as against 1979/80), linked to a  
significant resurgence of exports from Italy (see market situation under  
II B above) and to a lesser extent the accession of Greece. This makes  
intra-Community trade twice the volume it was in 1970/71. Although there  
was a slight dip in 1980/81 because production was lower than average,  
intra-Community trade was still at a high lever (20,7 million hi).
Traditionally, Italy holds a special place in exports of wine to other  
Community countries. In 1980/81 it delivered 13,8 million hi and in  
1981/82 12,9 million hi, accounting for 64,6$ and 62,6$ respectively of  
total intra-Community exports. The main customers are still Prance  
(7,9 million hi in 1980/81, i.e. 56,9$; 6,4 million hi in 1981/82, i.e.
49,6$) and Germany 4,9 million hi in 1980/81, i.e. 35,6$; 5,3 million hi
in 1981/82, i.e. 41,2$). They are followed by the United Kingdom, BLEU  
and the Netherlands. Although the amounts these three countries import  
from Italy are small, they are increasing; however, the rise is less  
marked in the United Kingdom (540.507 hi in 1980/81 and 582.097 hi in  
1981/82, i.e. + 7,69$) than in the BLEU (259-693 hi in 1980/81 and  
328.068 hi in 1981/82, i.e. + 26,3$) or the Netherlands (154*973 hi in  
1980/81 and 186.816 hi in 1981/82, i.e. + 20,5$).
Exports from Prance, which were 6,6 million hi in 1979/80 and accounted for  
a little over 38$ of intra-Community exports, went down slightly in 1980/81

-  22 -
and 1981/82 to stabilize at 6,1 million hi or about 30# of total  
intra-Community exports. Prance's main markets in the Community in  
descending order of size are Germany with 2,3 million hi in 1981/82  
compared with 2,4 million hi in 1980/81 (- 4,37#), the United Kingdom with
1.1 million hi in 1980/81 rising to 1,3 million hi in 1981/82 (+ 13,4#),  
and BLEU with a volume of slightly over 1 million hi. The Netherlands and  
Denmark are also buying more French wine. The national trade figures show 
that the share of wines with a registered designation of origin in France's  
exports is more than 50# in the case of Italy and Greece (almost entirely  
champagne), the Netherlands and BLEU (mainly Bordeaux and Cotes du Rhone),  
is between 40# and 50# in the case of the UK, Ireland and Denmark (mainly  
Bordeaux, Beaujolais, Cote du Rhone) and less than 30# in the case of  
Germany (principally Alsace and Bordeaux wines).
German exports of wine to other Member States amounted in 1981/82 to
1.2 million hi compared with 1,1 million hi in 1980/81 (+ 9,0#).
Germany's main markets were the United Kingdom at 0,7 million hi, the  
Netherlands at 0,3 million hi and Denmark at 0,1 million hi. Germany  
accounted for 6# of intra-Community wine exports in 1981/82.
In 1981/82, German imports of wine from other Member States went up by 4,0#  
compared with 1980/81, from 7,5 million hi to 7,8 million hi. Germany  
thus became the main purchaser of Community wines (38,0# compared with  
35>4# in 1980/81), followed by France with a share of 31,1#
(6,4 million hi) in 1981/82 compared with 37,1# (7,9 million hi) in  
1980/81, a drop of 18,7#.

-  23 -
In the case of Prance the difference between quantities imported and  
quantities exported in 1980/81, which came to 1,8 million hi, can be  
attributed in part to the level of production in the same wine year  
(69,6 million hi),  which was a long way below the record harvest of 1979  
(84,1 million hi).
The share taken by the other Member States in total purchases of  
Comunity-produced wine in 1981/82 was 12,9$ in the case of the United  
Kingdom (2,6 million hi), 76$ in the case of the BLEU (1,5 million hi),
6,4$ in the case of the Netherlands (1,5 million hi) and 5»2$ in the case  
of Denmark (0,6 million hi). Italy and Ireland each account for about
0. 4$ of imports of Community-produced wine.
B. External trade
1. Imports
After seeing a noticeable expansion in 1978/79 (5»23 million hi) and  
1979/80 (5,26 million hi), Community imports of wine from non-Community  
countries returned in 1980/81 (4,9 million hi) to the previous level  
and, despite the slight rise in 1981/82 (5,1 million hi), remain in  
line with the average of 5 million hi recorded during the decade  
1970-80.
Spain is still far and away the premier supplier to the Community  
(38,23$ in 1980/81, 38,29$ in 1981/82), although imports from Spain are  
declining: 2,18 million hi in 1979/89, 1,88 million hi in 1980/81 and
I, 95 million hi in 1981/82. Spain is followed by Portugal (15,12$ in  
1980/81 and 14,66$ in 1981/82) and Yugoslavia (10,6# in 1980/81 and
II, 75$ in 1981/82). In the case of the two prospective member  
countries, Spain and Portugal, the combined volume of their exports to  
the Community reached 2,6 million hi in 1980/81 (53,4$ of total  
Community imports) and 2,7 million hi in 1981/82 (52,9$)· Together  
they accounted for 55,9$ as recently as 1979/80 and 56,8# in 1978/79·

-  24 -
The list of supplier countries continues, in decreasing order of  
importance, with Austria (8,23$)» Hungary (7,74$) and - much further  
behind - Bulgaria (2,93$) and Rumania (2,81$). Imports from the  
Maghreb countries (Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia) have continued to  
decline: 0,54 million hi in 1979/80 (10,36$), 0,40 million hi in
1980/81 (8,2$) and 0,41 million hi in 1981/82 (8,0$).
Germany is still the leading importing country in the Community at  
1,81 million hi in 1980/81 (36,86$ of total imports) and  
1,89 million hi in 1981/82 (37,05$). It is followed by the United  
Kingdom (28,28$ in 1980/81 and 27,9$ in 1981/82), Prance (12,84$ in  
1980/81 and 12,83$ in 1981/82), the Netherlands (10,56$ in 1980/81 and  
10,55$ in 1981/82) and the BLEU (5,96$ in 1980/81 and 6,19$ in 1981/82).
Imports were down in 1980/81 in nearly all Member States (United  
Kingdom - 16,65$, Prance - 9,15$, BLEU - 2,59$, Germany - 0,49$), with  
the exception of the Netherlands (+ 5,70$); by contrast, imports in  
1981/82 were slightly up throughout the Community because of the  
relatively small Community harvest in 1981.
2. Exports
Community exports of wine have continued to rise in the last two wine  
years and were 8,9 million hi in 1980/81 (+ 7,54$ over 1979/80) and  
10,4 million hi in 1981/82. This increase in the volume of exports  
has mainly been due to a significant rise in exports by France  
(+ 20,18$) and Germany ( + 14,36$).
Italian exports in 1980/81, which were up by 5,17$ over 1979/80,  
accounted for 58,11$ of total Community exports; this figure was over  
61$ in 1981/82, with a volume of nearly 6,5 million hi. Italy has

- 25 -
therefore strengthened its position as the leading Community exporter,  
followed by France (30,86$) and Germany (9*62$), with the United  
Kingdom (0,94$) and Greece (0,35$) trailing some way behind.
These figures are very encouraging in terms of the Community's balance  
of trade with non-Community countries, but it should be remembered that  
the export refund system tends to boost trade, particularly trade with  
the Soviet Union and black Africa, for example, which are the main  
beneficiaries of refunds.
The United States of America remains the biggest buyer from the  
Community with 3,2 million hi in 1980/81 and 4,0 million hi in 1981/82  
(up by 26,5$ over 1979/80). Exports to the United States accounted  
for 38,3$ of total Community exports in 1981/82.
Exports to Switzerland have picked up well recently, with  
1,43 million hi in 1981/82 compared with 1,1 million hi in 1979/80  
(+ 28,1$). Switzerland takes 13,62$ of total Community exports,  
putting it in second place ahead of the Soviet Union (l,41 million hi),  
Canada (0,88 million hi) and Sweden (0,38 million hi).
Exports to Austria and Japan show some buoyancy (Austria + 30,0$ over  
1979/80; Japan + 21,2$).
In black Africa, there has been a marked increase in Community exports  
to the Ivory Coast: 0,25 million hi in 1979/80 and 0,48 million hi in
1981/82 (+ 86,9$)> accounting for 4,62$ of total Community exports.

-  26 -
It is calculated that Community exports to non-Community countries have  
risen in 10 years from 4 million hi to 10,5 million hi a year (5,5$ of  
Community production),  while imports have remained fairly steady at  
around 5 million hi.
By contrast, the figures for intra-Community trade are very much  
higher: an average of 17 million to 20 million hi a year, representing
12-15$ of Community output.
Finally, it should he mentioned that the Community countries hold a  
decisive share in international trade in wine, accounting for 55-60$ of  
a world volume which fluctuates between 48 million and 50 million hi a  
year.

CONCLUSIONS
This report on foreseeable trends in the planting and replanting of vineyards  
in the Community and the balance of production and consumption in the wine  
sector has confirmed a number of recent developments in Community wine-growing  
and described possible future market patterns in the light of the new  
instruments for managing the market which were adopted in 1982.
The total area under vines in the Community is steadily falling except in  
Germany, where a slight increase is reported, and Luxembourg, where there is  
no movement either way. This decline since 1976 (more recently in Greece)  
must be accounted a success of the Community's structural policy. The two  
sets of measures introduced in 1976 and 1978-80 are beginning to take full  
effect.
Although market trends have been influenced by the pattern of the weather, the  
effect of which on productivity should not be underestimated, the continuing  
surpluses are mainly due to a combination of two factors.
- There has been a virtually irreversible drop in the consumption of wine in  
the two leading producer and consumer countries of the Community (Prance,  
Italy) which has not been offset by the slight increase in consumption in  
other Member States (particularly the non-producers).
- There has been a long-term tendency for production to rise, mainly because  
of increased yields, and this has outweighed the contraction in vineyard  
area overall.

_  28 _
The likelihood that these trends would continue and the prospect of the  
accession of Spain induced the Community in March 1982 to adopt a group of new  
intervention measures with the aim of balancing or at least coming closer to  
balancing the market in table wines. However, these new arrangements for  
regulating and stabilizing the market are principally based on distillation,  
and the Community may be running the potentially expensive risk of moving the  
surplus to the alcohol market; by granting blanket aid to grape musts and  
concentrated grape musts for use in wine enrichment, it may also be courting  
the danger of increasing yields and hence encouraging the trend to higher  
production.
The only possible way of meeting these difficulties at the moment is speedier  
implementation by the Member States concerned of the 1979-85 action programme,  
especially with regard to reducing their production potentials. The fact  
remains that the central instrument among the new arrangements adopted in  
1982, i.e. obligatory distillation of table wine in proportion to the real  
output of holdings, the type of wine concerned and its alcoholic strength, has  
not been applied in the first wine year under the new system; it is  
important to test it in practice as soon as circumstances permit in order to  
make a fully-informed assessment of the effectiveness of the reform.
