- Winegrowers in Slovácko have begun harvesting grapes several weeks earlier than last year.
- Drought has reduced expected yields, while growers aim to complete the harvest by the end of September.
Winegrowers in Slovácko have begun the first grape harvest of the year, starting about two weeks before the end of the summer holidays. The early start comes as drought threatens to reduce the season's yield.
Growers want to finish the harvest by the end of September. The picking schedule is therefore moving ahead of last year's timetable, but the dry conditions are expected to leave vineyards with less produce.
The article focuses on the early start of the harvest and the pressure drought is putting on wine production in the Czech region.
