Despite fears of reprisals, they demonstrate every week in front of purchasing centers or traders’ warehouses, demanding a “fair distribution of profits.” On March 7, angry winegrowers displayed the low-cost brand’s weekly catalog on tractors lined up outside the Lidl warehouse in Sestas, near Bordeaux. On the first page is a bottle of Bordeaux wine for 1.89 euros. “Large distribution sets ever lower prices for traders who impose unbearable prices on us,” condemns Didier Cousini, representative of Viti Collective33.
“This is the price of misfortune! “- says Guillaume Le Moine in turn. This thirty-year-old guy living in Saint-André-du-Bois (Gironde) was tired of “working at a loss” with a loan on his back. We are talking about a 900-liter barrel, an indicator of the Bordeaux draft wine market, which is purchased for 750 euros, “while its production cost is about 1,200 euros. Again, assuming you do 50 hectoliters/ha. But one year of drought, frost or hail is enough to produce a smaller quantity…” sighs the winegrower who carried out the calculations: “If it were not profitable, I would have to sell my barrel for 1,500 euros. »
