🍇 Veraison and environmental challenges, Part 2 🌡️

We have selected several articles and one video that cover essential topics for winegrowers during this key time of the year.

Discover another selection of 4 articles from IVES Technical Reviews and 1 video from the IVES Science Meeting, on veraison and environmental challenges. 

This second part highlights environmental challenges and some of the ways in which we can resist them.

In the context of climate change, most wine-growing regions are experiencing periods of water deficit, or even water stress, as well as heatwaves, and growers are already struggling to adapt.

These articles and the video explain the challenges of global warming for winegrowers by highlighting different techniques or vineyard management strategies to try to resist its effects, such as sunburn, heatwaves or drought.
