For regions producing high-quality grapes at the margins of their climatic limits, these results suggest that future climate change will exceed a climatic threshold such that the ripening of balanced fruit required for existing varieties and wine styles will become progressively more difficult. In othe...
Climate change is affecting grape yield, composition and wine quality. As a result, the geography of wine production is changing. In this Review, we discuss the consequences of changing temperature, precipitation, humidity, radiation and CO2on global wine production and explore adaptation strategies. ...
Climate change has the potential to greatly impact nearly every form of agriculture. However, history has shown that the narrow climatic zones for growing winegrapes are especially prone to variations in climate and long-term climate change. While the observed warming over the last fifty years ...
In this article, we provide an overview of the extensive literature on the impact of weather and climate on grapes and wine with the goal of describing how climate change is likely to affect their production. We start by discussing the physical impact of weather on vine phenology, berry compos...
It is clear climate change will have wide-ranging effects on the wine world. Some will be felt earlier while others will lie dormant and unnoticed until they arrive in full force. However, one of the most obvious changes will be where grapes can be grown. For centuries, traditional growing...
Climate change presents risks and opportunities for the wine industry. Little has been written about possible impacts on wine safety. This chapter draws on the latest scientific consensus regarding climate change to examine how changing production environments could be realised in the vineyard and winery...
Even a slight difference in temperatures each season can change the way the grapes and eventually the wine the following year may taste. WBZ asked Perry if she noticed the change. "We have noticed, and it's easy for us to notice, because we make small batches of grapes, " Perry exclai...
"On average, over the past 10 years, we've probably grown between 25 and 33 percent,” says Lintner. "Every year, year-on-year. The more wine we make, the more we sell and the more we keep growing." Wine sales in general rose sharply during the pandemic, but L...
This paper examines the nature of climate change, viticulture and wine at the global scale and details changes and projections in the historic Douro wine region of Portugal. Overall, the observed warming over the last fifty years in wine regions worldwide has benefited some by creating more suita...
