00:00The severe drug that has plagued Europe this summer has now also affected the grape harvest in Hungary's most famous
00:07wine region.
00:08Grapes are smaller and vines struggling to survive due to high temperatures in the Villani wine region, causing the harvest
00:16to start sooner than normal.
00:19We are very comfortable with that there is quite a lot of food. It's not only in the country, but
00:29it's a little cold.
00:31Especially in the colder temperatures, the droughts are not only in the soil, but there is no limit.
00:43Expertise is important in the winemaking business, but even seasoned farmers are powerless against
00:48the forces of nature.
00:50Though the wine's quality is not expected to be seriously compromised, the quantity of
00:55grapes ready for harvest is expected to be around 30% lower than in previous years.
01:13In the previous years, the harvest of red grape varieties in Villani began in early September,
01:24but this year it is expected to start earlier.
01:27Exactly when will depend on the progress of the forced ripening caused by the drought.
