Vinogradniki address climate change
A slight increase of 1 or 2 degrees in temperature has a positive effect on the harvest of wine with wines sweeter, more alcohol and less acidic. Yet long-term global warming strongest can have negative effects on the huge wine production and production patterns. According to the Australian Wine and Brandy Corporation, Australia is experiencing a 2007 harvest down 20% (1.5 million tonnes against 1.9 million on average) which would be due to drought and frost, October. In France in 2003, the summer heatwave has caused a fall of 17% of the crop according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. Review in detail with this article blog "Vin Spirit IE" specializes in vineyard.
It can be seen that global warming may ultimately cause disastrous consequences for wine producers with the harvest earlier, the emergence of new pests, a shift of viticultural areas to the north and a decrease in production in some regions.
The speed of the warming observed (more than half a degree in a century on the globe) and expected (1.4 ° C at best 5.8 ° C at worst, overall average, between 1990 and 2100) is a hundred times higher than the average speed variations naturally printed on the climate of the Earth (a few degrees in 10000 years each time) under ORNEC.
The effects of global warming are already being felt in many sectors of the economy. These climate changes and their anticipation will affect the competitiveness of wine producers who are going to have french increase their know-how. How to adapt the methods of production to climate change? What will be the regions most affected by these changes? France will she continue to produce the same type of wine? Can we expect in the future, to see countries like the United Kingdom and the Scandinavian countries develop a wine production like France?
The national thinking and foresight is needed to answer these questions, educate and adapt the french vineyard, which implies an important dialogue between government and producers to determine the necessary practical and hence the investment needed. Some agencies french (such NARI or ORNEC) have already advanced solutions such as improving irrigation methods, the mechanical harvest night, the cooling cellars, the establishment of an observatory of the impact of global warming on wine and the creation of relevant indicators on climate allowing anticipation.
