It’s no secret that climate change
is affecting our lives. A reduced ozone layer is altering weather and
temperatures around the world affecting agriculture. As wine is an agricultural
product, it is most certainly not exempt. In some cases, certain wine regions
that could grow specific grape varieties are now having a hard time doing so.
Australia with Shiraz is a prime example. Others that couldn’t, are now
prolific. The U.K. now makes some great sparkling wine. This whole phenomenon
is causing producers to look to new locations within their respective countries
to plant, search for new or different varietals/clones that will work, alter
their viticultural practices and be more creative in their winemaking.
