Impacts of climate change on wine producer countries located north of the wine belt

Abstract

Climate change poses significant challenges to the global wine sector, with cool-climate countries particularly vulnerable to its effects. The research employs a panel data analysis to investigate the impact of climate change on the wine industry in 66 countries, focusing on 11 cool-climate countries located north of the wine belt in the northern hemisphere. Utilizing data from oiv, fao and climatic statistics from the climate change knowledge portal of the world bank spanning from 1961 to 2020, the research examines the relationship between temperature, precipitation, and wine production. The study estimates a wine production function to assess the influence of climate change on the industry, considering variables such as global warming, climate change, and structural breaks in new wine world and cool climate countries. Findings suggest that changes in temperature and precipitation have a significant impact on wine production in cool-climate countries, highlighting the need for adaptation strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. This research contributes to the understanding of how climate change is reshaping the global wine sector, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices and resilience in the face of environmental challenges.

Impacts du changement climatique sur les pays producteurs de vin situés au nord de la ceinture viticole

Le changement climatique pose des défis importants au secteur mondial du vin, les pays à climat frais étant particulièrement vulnérables à ses effets. La recherche utilise une analyse de données de panel pour étudier l’impact du changement climatique sur l’industrie du vin dans 66 pays, en se concentrant sur 11 pays à climat frais situés au nord de la ceinture viticole dans l’hémisphère nord. En utilisant des données de l’oiv, de la fao et des statistiques climatiques du portail de connaissances sur le changement climatique de la banque mondiale couvrant la période 1961-2020, la recherche examine la relation entre la température, les précipitations et la production de vin. L’étude estime une fonction de production de vin pour évaluer l’influence du changement climatique sur l’industrie, en tenant compte de variables telles que le réchauffement planétaire, le changement climatique et les ruptures structurelles dans le nouveau monde viticole et les pays à climat frais. Les résultats suggèrent que les changements de température et de précipitations ont un impact significatif sur la production de vin dans les pays à climat frais, soulignant la nécessité de stratégies d’adaptation pour atténuer les effets négatifs du changement climatique. Cette recherche contribue à la compréhension de la manière dont le changement climatique remodèle le secteur mondial du vin, en soulignant l’importance des pratiques durables et de la résilience face aux défis environnementaux.

Auswirkungen des klimawandels auf die weinerzeugerländer nördlich des weingürtels

Der klimawandel stellt den globalen weinsektor vor erhebliche herausforderungen, wobei die länder mit kühlem klima besonders anfällig für seine auswirkungen sind. Die untersuchung nutzt eine paneldatenanalyse, um die auswirkungen des klimawandels auf die weinindustrie in 66 ländern zu untersuchen, wobei der schwerpunkt auf 11 ländern mit kühlem klima liegt, die nördlich des weingürtels in der nördlichen hemisphäre liegen. Unter verwendung von daten der oiv, der fao und klimastatistiken aus dem climate change knowledge portal der weltbank für den zeitraum von 1961 bis 2020 untersucht die studie die beziehung zwischen temperatur, niederschlag und weinproduktion. Die studie schätzt eine weinproduktionsfunktion, um den einfluss des klimawandels auf die branche zu bewerten, wobei variablen wie die globale erwärmung, der klimawandel und strukturbrüche in der neuen weinwelt und in ländern mit kühlem klima berücksichtigt werden. Die ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass temperatur- und niederschlagsveränderungen einen erheblichen einfluss auf die weinproduktion in ländern mit kühlem klima haben, was die notwendigkeit von anpassungsstrategien zur abschwächung der negativen auswirkungen des klimawandels unterstreicht. Diese forschungsarbeit trägt zum verständnis der auswirkungen des klimawandels auf den globalen weinsektor bei und unterstreicht die bedeutung nachhaltiger praktiken und der widerstandsfähigkeit angesichts der ökologischen herausforderungen.

An online training tool for wine professionals around the world: from responsible service to a sustainable consumption of wine

Most consumers enjoy wine in moderation, however, there remains a minority that may develop risky drinking habits, potentially harming themselves and those around them. For the last fifteen years, a prime objective of the wine in moderation programme has been to educate and empower the wine sector and now for the first time, a central education tool has been developed, integrating the topic of moderate consumption horizontally in all wine activities. The entire wine value chain – from the producer to the salesperson to the restaurant service staff – can contribute to reduce harmful consumption and encourage responsible drinking patterns.

Social and environmental impacts of the adoption of a variety of table grape in the region of vale do São Francisco – Brazil

This study explores and analyzes the socio-environmental implications associated with the cultivation of the “brs-vitoria” table grape variety. Focusing on its adoption by farmers in the vale do submédio São Francisco region in Brazil, this study delves into the diverse impacts and changes brought about since its introduction, encompassing both the social and environmental dimensions of agricultural practices in the area. Embrapa, brazil’s federal agricultural research institution, encompasses a network of 43 thematic research centers spread across the nation.

Inactivated yeasts: a case study for the future of precision enology

Yeasts serve as highly versatile tools in oenology. They do more than just perform alcoholic fermentation. Nowadays, yeasts from various species, naturally present in grapes, are selected for specific non-fermentative applications. For example, the use of selected non-saccharomyces at the early stage of winemaking has become a common practice to limit the growth of unwanted microorganisms. When inactivated, yeasts can be fractionated into soluble and insoluble fractions providing a wide range of benefits related to structural components or specific metabolites.

The bottleneck/cork interface: A key parameter for wine aging in bottle

The shelf life of wine is a major concern for the wine industry. This is particularly true for wines intended for long cellaring, which are supposed to reach their peak after an ageing period ranging from a few months to several years, or even decades. Low, controlled oxygen inputs through the closure system are generally necessary for the wine to evolve towards its optimum organoleptic characteristics. Our previous studies have already shown that the interface between the cork and the bottleneck plays a crucial role in the transfer of oxygen into the bottled wine.

Training system and its influence on iso-anisohydric behavior of cv. Syrah

Water use efficiency is one of the most valued objectives in vine growing in mediterranean climates (de la fuente et al., 2015). Due to this, the grape growers provide different adaptation strategies according to their efficient consumption against the presumable water deficit generated under these environmental conditions. The use of non-positioned shoot systems (like sprawl, bush, etc.) Can help to achieve this objective.
