The integration of agrivoltaics (APV) in vineyards can reduce climate and production risks while also generating electricity.
Investigation on the effects of terrain slope and elevation on chemical features of wine within the PDO Prosecco area in Veneto region (Italy)
The terroir can be considered as a well-defined area where natural conditions such as geomorphology of location, climate, ventilation, sun exposure, rainfall quantity and distribution, and humidity contribute to the production of a wine that is specific to that area and identifiable through the characteristics of the territory of origin (Bonfante and Brillante, 2022).

Climate change is profoundly transforming wine supply chains, affecting grape yields, wine quality, resource availability, and consequently the economic stability of all actors operating within the sector.
Mitigating climate change impacts in the wine supply chain through integrated energy and water efficiency assessment
The wine industry is increasingly exposed to the combined effects of climate change, resource scarcity, and rising consumer expectations regarding environmental responsibility.
Methodological considerations on local temperature zoning: how many sensors and what interpolation method could be used? A case study in Bourgogne (France)
Due to the development of connected and moderately cheap temperature sensors, climate zoning within vineyards is now more accessible to both the research community and the wine industry.
On-the-go hyperspectral imaging for monitoring grape maturity in Tempranillo: supporting adaptive harvest decisions under climate variability

Even if there are historic evidence of the cultivation of the vine in Normandy (France) before the XXth, the winegrowing area had completely disappeared.
Is delimitation of parcels within AOP areas a way to adapt to climate change?
The French Appellation of Origin system (AOC/AOP) is based on the delimitation of zones in which grapes and subsequent wines meet production criteria (pedo-climatic conditions of production, varieties, growing and wine-making practices) expressing the links with the terroir of origin.
