Quartz: Changing Weather Picks New Winners for Wine
Specific climate conditions influence the taste, quality and production of some crops, especially grapes for wine. Annual wine output last year was up in Argentina, Australia, and South Africa, but down in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, Chile, and China,” report Akshat Rathi & Dan Kopf for Quartz. Annual wine production fell by 9 percent in 2017, and that put production at a 60-year low. Climate change with warmer and wetter weather is disrupting agriculture in traditional wine regions – and the writers anticipate cooler places like England, Michigan and Tasmania to emerge as wine regions of the future. – YaleGlobal
