France removes champagne alcohol limit

French champagne producers have been allowed to temporarily increase alcohol content to 15%—above the usual 13%—due to record heatwaves that caused grapes to have higher sugar levels. The earliest-ever harvest was also recorded this year, linked to climate change, and future seasons are expected to see similar patterns. The 2026 vintage, affected by severe weather, will likely be released in 2028, with experts predicting such extreme conditions may become more common over the next 10 to 15 years.
