There are some wine regions, however, which stand to gain from global warming. In Europe, rising temperatures will shift wine country to the north, extending its reach into Scandinavian countries, Florence agronomist Simone Orlandini told MSNBC. In England, wineries are already experiencing the benefits. Last year, even as overall wine consumption decreased in England, consumption of domestic wine went up by more than 70%, the Economist reported. (This map provides a glimpse into the future of British wine.) Changes in climate are bringing earlier harvests and friendlier growing conditions for French varietals. In the US, wine production is expected to increase in cool, coastal areas and high desert regions. In Australia, production is expected to increase in Tasmania due to its island climate, and in Chile and Argentina, production may shift to high desert regions, mountain foothills and coastal areas.
But classic regions are by no means prepared to abandon wine, their star industry. This year, Spain hosted the third annual Climate Change and Wine Conference, which featured former UN secretary-general Kofi Annan as its VIP guest speaker. Industry professionals from Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, the UK, the US, South Africa, Chile and Brazil attended the conference with the goal of facing climate challenges head-on.
