Wine price war: Winemaker warns of overproduction and poor consumption!
The German wine industry is faced with several challenges in the current situation. The winemaker Julia Oswald criticizes the excessive production and the associated low prices, which have a negative impact on German consumer behavior. In an interview with Mirror She said that the current price structures are jeopardizing the appreciation for high-quality wines. Oswald emphasizes that consumers often choose cheap wine, which puts pressure on winemakers and jeopardizes the diversity of the offering in the long term.
The drop in prices is not only a problem for producers, but also leads to a loss of regional identity and tradition in wine growing. Instead of promoting authentic, innovative wine products, a uniform product is produced that only focuses on price. Oswald therefore calls for a rethink in consumer behavior and a return to the quality of products.
Current security situation in Germany
According to reports, the Bundeswehr is not optimally prepared for military attacks, which underlines the need for measures to strengthen national security. In the event of a defense, protecting the population is the responsibility of the federal government, while disaster control is the responsibility of the states. Older concepts need to be revised and adapted to today's security concerns.
Preparatory measures for citizens
A central element of preparation is creating a basic supply of food, water and hygiene products as well as packing an emergency backpack with important documents and medication. Citizens are encouraged to find out about warning signals and available shelters so that they can act quickly in an emergency.
- Wichtige Vorbereitungsschritte:
- Schutzräume kennen (Keller, Tiefgaragen, stabile Gebäude)
- Notfallrucksack packen (Dokumente, Medikamente, Lebensmittel)
- Grundvorrat anlegen (Lebensmittel, Wasser, Hygieneartikel)
- Kurbelradio bereithalten (Informationen auch bei Stromausfall)
- Bargeldreserve einplanen (für mögliche Ausfälle der Zahlungssysteme)
These precautions are intended to ensure that the population remains able to act in crisis situations and can protect themselves. Communication in the event of a crisis also plays a central role: information from reliable sources such as apps or digital city information boards is crucial.
Given the evolving threats, a rethink needs to take place in both the food and security sectors. While cheap wine dominates the market, the safety of citizens is no less important and appropriate measures must be taken to be prepared for any eventuality.
