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.

Characterization of a strain of Lachancea thermotolerans, microorganism of choice when facing the climatic challenges of the wine sector

Current climatic challenges in the wine sector require innovative solutions to maintain the quality of wines while adapting oenological practices to changing conditions. This article presents the detailed study of a lachancea thermotolerans strain on matrices typical of the French mediterranean area.

Multi-trait selection in ancient grapevine varieties

The selection of ancient grapevine varieties aims to achieve genetic gains in several important traits that can make the variety more interesting for the objectives of the producers. Traditionally, yield and quality traits of the must have been considered for selection, but many others can be taken into account. Linear mixed models are fitted to the data to predict the empirical best linear unbiased predictors (EBLUPs) of genotypic effects for each evaluated trait, which will be the basis for selection.

Les AOC : un frein ou un moteur à l’innovation ? Retour sur l’histoire économique, scientifique, sociale et technique des vins d’appellation au XXe siècle en France

At a time when the world’s winegrowing industry is having to adapt to a number of challenges, winegrowers are wondering about the consequent changes they will have to make (grape varieties, changes in vineyard and cellar techniques). For winegrowers and consumers alike, there is also the question of how these changes will affect the taste of their wines. This research, based on the study of numerous sources and archives from the 20th century, some of which have never been published before, aims to show that, in the recent past, the winegrowing world has shown incredible resilience in the face of crises, and that the taste and perception of fine wines has changed considerably in 100 years.

Towards understanding the mechanisms of resistance to grapevine Flavescence dorée

Flavescence dorée (FD) is a very serious grapevine disease, classified as quarantine in europe, where it appeared in the middle of the last century. It is associated with the presence of phytoplasmas, transmitted in the vineyard by a leafhopper of american origin, scaphoideus titanus. FD causes severe wine production losses and often leads to plant death. There are currently no alternative solutions to insecticide treatments against the vector and uprooting diseased vines.

LCA: an effective, generalizable method for wine ecodesign? Advantages and limitations

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an effective and comprehensive method for evaluating the environmental impact of a product, considering its entire life cycle. In the context of wine production, although the use of lca is gaining ground in viticulture, its application is still limited to the fine assessment of winemaking processes.
