There are many larger conversation taking place in academia regarding the impact of global warming in the viticulture industry. Wine is one of the most sensitive crops when it comes to climate change and small variances can mean the difference between an outstanding Cab and a less than complete wine.
If current global warming trends continue it is entirely possible that great wine regions will be a thing of the past. Of course this trend also gives way for interesting new wine regions around the world. In fact Scotland just produced their very first wine planting a few vines of Solaris, Rondo, and Riegerebbe varieties they are about to push into the market two whites and one rose wine. Good for Scotland! As for Napa we continue to have a strong commitment toward sustainability and green practices. With the current drought in California many wineries are implementing the latest and greatest irrigation innovations that incorporate automation of sensors to measure humidity and other amazing water savings practices.
