Impact of Climate Change on
Global Viticulture




This presentation will discuss the observed climate-induced changes to 
date and those projected in 2050 and 2100 for 24 of the world's major 
wine producing regions. As viticulture is extremely sensitive to changes 
in temperature, precipitation, solar insolation, runoff, and humidity, 
grape growing and the overall quality of wine is thought to be seriously 
impacted by climate change. This presentation will review the various 
stages of grape phenology, the impact of climate on grape development in 
both the old and new world, and what changes may be expected for the 
wine industry over the next 50-100 years.
