The state of the climate
The climate has warmed over the past century or more bringing about changes in numerous aspects in both earth and human systems
Climate change
Impacts on water availability for vitiviniculture worldwide using different potential evapotranspiration methods
Beyond the sole warming globally perceived and monitored, climate change impacts water availability. Increasing heatwaves frequency observed during the last decades
How to develop strategies of adaptation to climate change based on a foresight exercise?
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
Sustaining grape production under challenging climate change circumstances
Grapevines are an important economic crop grown in temperate climates of both hemispheres characterized by short‐term heat spells and heat waves
Simulating the impact of climate change on grapevine behaviour and viticultural activities
Global climate change affects regional climates and hold implications for wine growing regions worldwide
Using remote sensing to quantify the temporal and spatial effects of extreme weather events in vineyards
The increasing frequency of extreme weather events (EWE) represents a severe threat to viticulture.
Grapevine bud fertility under elevated carbon dioxide
Aims: Microscopic bud dissection is a common tool used to assess grapevine bud fertility and therefore to predict the yield of the following season
Riesling aroma composition in light of changing global temperatures – delving into the effects of warmer nights on the volatile profile of riesling grapes
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
Harvest dates – temperature relationships and thermal requirements of winegrape varieties in Greece: observed and future climate responses
Air temperature is arguably one of the most decisive factors for winegrape varieties developmental cycle, ripening potential and yield.
Do high temperature extremes impact berry tannin composition?
Flavonoids, including flavonols, anthocyanins, and tannins, are important contributors to grape and wine quality, and their biosynthesis is strongly influenced by bunch microclimate.
Heat berry: the influence of abiotic factors on the composition of berries, must and wine in Vitis vinifera L. CV Riesling
Recurring heat and drought episodes during the growing season can produce adverse impacts on grape production in many wine regions around the world.
Heat waves and drought stress impact grapevine growth and physiology
Recurring heat and drought episodes during the growing season can produce adverse impacts on grape production in many wine regions around the world.
Changes in flavonol profile are a reliable indicator to assess the exposure of red grape berries to solar radiation and canopy architecture
Exposure to solar radiation affects berry composition through photomorphogenesis or changes in temperature. Flavonol synthesis is upregulated by UV‐B radiation
The temperature‐based grapevine sugar ripeness (GSR) model for adapting a wide range of Vitis vinifera L. cultivars in a changing climate
Temperatures are increasing due to climate change leading to advances in grapevine phenology and sugar accumulation in grape berries.
Evaluation of vineyards, fruit and wine affected by wild fire smoke
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
