French wine and spirits exporters saw their worst results since 2020’s Covid-19 shock last year, as companies were buffeted by stormy trade relations between China and the US, two of their biggest export markets. “It’s weighing on everyone’s morale,” said Gabriel Picard, president of the French Federation of Wine and Spirit Exporters (FEVS), during a press conference in Paris on Tuesday where he presented the annual figures. France exported a total of €14.3 billion (117.5 billion yuan) of wine and spirits last year, down by 7.9 per cent. More specifically, wine exports were down 4.1 per cent to €10.5 billion and spirit exports were down 17.4 per cent to €3.7 billion – with cognac exports plunging 23.8 per cent – according to FEVS data. Advertisement The total export value declined for the third consecutive year and marked the lowest point since 2020, Picard said, adding that a rebound this year might be difficult given the context. The 15 per cent tariffs US President Donald Trump imposed on French wine and spirits – along with similar duties levied by Beijing in response to EU tariffs on imports of China’s electric vehicles – were the main factors that dragged down the total exports, according to Picard. Advertisement While the United States remained the biggest export market for French wine and spirits at €3 billion, Trump’s tariffs, together with a strong euro, reduced exports by 21.2 per cent in 2025.

Freezelight/iStock via Getty Images By Samuel Rines FaST (Few Sentence Takeaway): And it's over. The pivot from PoV (price over volume)—the strategy where companies defended profit with price while volume drifted lower—to the Battle for Volume has begun. Pepsi was the poster child for the price-over-volume trend. Now, it has announced its lowering prices going forward. Not that it was 'taking less price.' It was cutting it. After years of price hikes and margin protection, Pepsi is rapidly moving toward affordability and frequency—pivoting from price to volume. Yes, Dara. So, as I mentioned, it is very surgical. This is well-tested at scale. Obviously, we're executing, it means that we got very good ROI from those investments. Volume return is pretty good, and that's what the category needs: units and volume to go up. This not only has a good impact on the consumer, obviously, being part of our business and being part of our brand, but as you can imagine, once we've right-sized Frito-Lay, as we have, the flow-through of additional volume has a lot of good leverage for us. So, you should think about all these components, and we'll update you more as we get more data in coming quarters. We're very optimistic, and we started the year in a good place. — Pepsi earnings call, February 3, 2026 So… What Happens After PoV? Quite a bit. Pepsi is not alone. There are already several "Pepsi-like" moves happening across consumer-facing companies—explicitly choosing traffic, volume, and market share over price: Target ( TGT ): cutting prices on approximately 5,000 frequently shopped items (food, beverages, household essentials). McDonald's ( MCD ): rolling out a national "McValue" platform. General Mills ( GIS ): explicitly saying consumer-value investments improved volume/share and that the goal is restoring volume-driven organic sales growth. Kraft Heinz ( KHC ): allocating an additional approximately $300 million in U.S. promotions to navigate a softer consumer and drive perfo...

New German Law Could Force Green Energy Developers To Fund Grid Links Authored by Michael Kern via OilPrice.com, Germany is proposing that renewable energy developers pay for connecting to the grid in new regulations that would replace the current system of first-come, first-served, Reuters reported on Monday, citing a new draft law it has seen. The current congestion in the queue for grid connections and the regulations allowing the first applications to be connected is slowing renewables expansion. “Connecting generation, storage, and consumption facilities to the electricity grid is facing ever greater challenges,” says the bill proposed by Germany’s economy and energy ministry, as carried by Reuters. “In particular, the ongoing flood of applications from large-scale battery storage systems is overloading grid operators and blocking other grid connection applicants,” according to the bill. Apart from having renewable energy developers pay for connecting to the grid, the new regulations would aim to encourage the construction of wind, solar, and battery capacity in areas with easier connections for the grid. Despite soaring wind and solar installations in recent years, Germany needs to accelerate capacity additions to meet its own renewable energy targets. Europe’s biggest economy has a target to have renewables account for 80% of its electricity generation in 2030. In solar, Germany is halfway through reaching its 2030 solar power targets, the German Solar Industry Association (BSW-Solar) said in June last year. The association, however, warned that solar power expansion has slowed and while Germany is halfway there on its solar goals, the next stage to reaching the 2030 targets cannot be taken for granted. Germany saw the highest number of onshore wind turbines commissioned in the first half of 2025 for eight years, but the rebound in installations is still off track to reach the official targets, the German wind energy association, Bundesverband WindEnergie (BW...
