Challenges in Cypriot Viticulture Due to Weather Conditions
September 20, 2026
Cyprus's viticulture is in a critical condition due to prolonged drought, heatwaves, and downy mildew. This has led to a dramatic drop in production and challenges for the wine industry. It is expected that grape intake will stay below the average in the coming years. Despite the challenges, the quality of Cypriot wines remains high, and the local market favors domestic products. It is important to maintain the vineyard area to support the sector's growth.
