Climate change is changing the European wine sector’s map

As climate change brings rising temperatures, drought, and extreme weather, Europe’s commercial vineyards are appearing farther north in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

Grapevines can withstand heat and drought, and dry farming has been a traditional practice in parts of Europe. However, the past decade has witnessed the hottest years on record globally, with further warming expected. This can affect wine production, as even minor changes in weather can alter the sugar, acid, and tannin content of grapes.
