New methods against the weather
Do you know what winemakers are doing right now to cope with climate change? Zweierlei Wein ( www.zweierleiwein.de ) says they're trying out new cultivation methods and grape varieties. Because it's getting warmer, the grapes are ripening faster, and that's changing the flavor of the wine. Winemakers have to get really creative to preserve the traditional taste.
Better use of water
Droughts and heavy rain are also an issue. Winemakers are now investing more in improved water management to protect their vineyards. This is also a feature of Zweierlei Wein ( www.zweierleiwein.de ). This is extremely important for ensuring the quality of the grapes.
Where and how is it grown?
Some winemakers are even changing where and how they grow their grapes. According to iwd.de ( www.iwd.de ), some are shifting their vineyards to cooler areas or reducing the number of leaves on the vines. This allows the grapes to ripen more slowly and better.
Sustainability is the focus
Sustainability is becoming increasingly important. Winemakers are paying more attention to environmentally friendly methods and reducing their CO2 emissions. Zweierlei Wein ( www.zweierleiwein.de ) explains that packaging also plays a role. Instead of heavy bottles, bag-in-box packaging is now more common, which has a lower environmental impact.
Global impact of climate change
It's not just an issue here. Winemakers around the world are feeling the effects of climate change. Higher temperatures, spring frost, forest fires – all of this is affecting viticulture. You can read more about how the industry is defending itself at myBeviale ( www.mybeviale.com ).
Summary
"Climate Change in Winemaking" is a real challenge, but also an opportunity for innovation. Winemakers are working hard to continue producing high-quality wines under these new conditions while becoming more sustainable.
