  "account": "Germany's wine harvest is expected to be one of the lowest in recent years, with a predicted yield 20% below the 10-year average of 8.7 million hectoliters. According to the German Wine Institute (DWI), the harvest is likely to be around the same level as 2010, when 7.1 million hectoliters were produced, and 7.7 million hectoliters in the previous year. The harvest is almost complete, with some exceptions in the Saale-Unstrut region, and winemakers are expecting high-quality wine despite the low yields. The dry and sunny summer led to smaller grapes, but older vines with deeper roots have coped better with the drought than younger vines and those on lighter soils.",
  "summary": "The harvest in the bumper crop year 2026 is complete, with a few exceptions. The winemakers are expecting the lowest yield in 16 years, but this is not yet certain.",
