After two years of interruption of the Munich Beer Festival, a glass of wine increased by 15%

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] After two years of interruption of the new crown pneumonia, the Munich International Beer Festival returned. However, due to capital pressure, the price of beer festivals this year was about 15%higher than the 2019 before the epidemic.

According to the "Voice of Germany", on the 17th, as Munich Mayor Di Di Litter beat the beer bucket three times, the Munich Beer Festival officially opened this year. This year's beer festival will last until October 3rd, and tourists from Germany and around the world can fully enjoy the most distinctive German beer, sausage and various local foods in this European famous city. The Munich Beer Festival has a tradition of more than 200 years. It has been canceled 26 times for various reasons in history. In addition to the interruption of World War I and World War II, there are two times because of the outbreak of the cholera epidemic.

The Beer Festival held by Munich each year can bring a local income of 1.2 billion euros. However, due to the soaring prices caused by inflation, the German beer industry is now facing tremendous pressure. These economic pressures have been transferred to consumers-at the beer festival this year, a large cup of 1 liter beer prices are between 12.6-13.8 euros, which has increased by 15%compared to the same capacity of a glass of wine in 2019.
