At its New Year’s reception held on Monday at the Wormeldange winery, the Vinsmoselle wine cooperative addressed the evolving landscape of Luxembourg’s wine industry, emphasising resilience despite demographic and production shifts.
Approximately 150 wine-growing families currently make up the cooperative’s membership. While both their numbers and overall production have seen a slight decline in recent years, Vinsmoselle President Josy Gloden reassured attendees there is no cause for concern. Domaines Vinsmoselle remains the largest producer of Luxembourgish wines, with Rivaner still accounting for the largest share of its output. Moving forward, however, the cooperative plans to place an even stronger emphasis on Crémant production.
Vinsmoselle sources grapes from vineyards spanning eastern Luxembourg from Schengen to Wasserbillig. Despite the loss of several member families – and consequently, some vineyard area – in recent years, the cooperative is responding by shifting its focus increasingly toward quality over quantity.
Production is currently concentrated at two active sites. Two additional wineries, which have been out of use for years, were listed for sale in 2025. The Caves du Sud in Remerschen is set to be taken over by the National Society for Affordable Housing (SNHBM), while a preliminary sales agreement has recently been signed with the local municipality for the historic Greiveldange site.
