Exposure to solar radiation affects berry composition through photomorphogenesis or changes in temperature. Flavonol synthesis is upregulated by UV‐B radiation
Flavonoids, including flavonols, anthocyanins, and tannins, are important contributors to grape and wine quality, and their biosynthesis is strongly influenced by bunch microclimate.
Wineries may randomly reject fruit from vineyards near wild fires exposed to smoke. It is difficult to determine if fruit has been compromised in quality when exposed to smoke
Aims: Microscopic bud dissection is a common tool used to assess grapevine bud fertility and therefore to predict the yield of the following season
Air temperature is arguably one of the most decisive factors for winegrape varieties developmental cycle, ripening potential and yield.
Recurring heat and drought episodes during the growing season can produce adverse impacts on grape production in many wine regions around the world.

Prospective studies raise a real intellectual interest for those who contribute to them or take cognizance of it. But they are often considered too difficult to operationalize
Beyond the sole warming globally perceived and monitored, climate change impacts water availability. Increasing heatwaves frequency observed during the last decades
Climate is a key parameter when the modulation of berry and subsequent wine composition is considered. Recent decades have already seen an increase in global surface temperatures
Global climate change affects regional climates and hold implications for wine growing regions worldwide
Grapevines are an important economic crop grown in temperate climates of both hemispheres characterized by short‐term heat spells and heat waves
The climate has warmed over the past century or more bringing about changes in numerous aspects in both earth and human systems
Temperatures are increasing due to climate change leading to advances in grapevine phenology and sugar accumulation in grape berries.
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events (EWE) represents a severe threat to viticulture.
