For any wine fans out there, it may come as a surprise that something so synonymous with France is battling to survive. 

 

French wine is loved around the world and France - one of the world's largest producers - makes around 8 million bottles a year.

 

But environmental factors such as climate change, as well as biological problems, such as viruses, fungi and bacteria, industry practices and economic constraints have all led to a serious decline in production at French vineyards, with experts saying the situation becoming increasingly dire over the past few decades.
