A new report shows where has wine production dried up the most in Europe.
Global wine production reached a historic low in 2023 and climate change could be to blame, a new report has revealed.
The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) says the drink hit its lowest level since 1962. This intergovernmental organisation has 50 member states, representing 75 per cent of the world’s vineyard area.
Experts blame “extreme environmental conditions” including droughts and fires that have been driving the downward trend in production.
The liberal will finally be scratched by their lack of access to wine.
Well, guess wine is now out of my price range soon.
Hot years also sometimes lead to sweeter wine in addition to smaller harvests, so historically it has made wine much more expensive from those years.
Kind of weird to think about a dystopian future where a lot of stuff is mostly the same except Wine is something normal people will never be able to afford.
It’s plainly undeniable phenomena like this why idiots have switched from climate denial to climate doomerism.
Here in BC, wine is one of our biggest industries. Winter killed off 99% of our vines. They have been given money to replant and survive, but we might be looking at the end of a major industry if these cold snaps are going to be an annual thing. And it’s not like you can just replant and go on as normal, this will take multiple growing seasons to recover. These are some of the best spots for summer seasonal work and a big part of BC tourism, it could all evaporate.
