Rising global temperatures could change where the majority of the world's wine is produced as mid-latitude regions may no longer be able to grow grapes, according to researchers.

Up to 70% of current wine-producing regions could face a substantial risk of losing the suitability for wine-growing if global temperatures increase beyond 2 degrees Celsius since the Industrial Revolution, a review of more than 200 studies published Tuesday in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment found.

There is a flip side, if youre English and grasp viticulture :)

Too bad it takes generations to reach a good quality vine and with how fast climate is changing the new region won't be growing anything by then. What a shitty world we have created!

Maybe for some varieties, or if the vineyard's shtick is "heritage vines," but younger vines produce more grapes, so big commercial ops rip out and replant vines every 25 years or so, on a rotating schedule. They fruit after about 3 years.
