How Climate Change Has Been Affecting Wine Grape Harvests
- 8 years ago
A recent joint study conducted by NASA and Harvard University has found that wine grapes were harvested much earlier between 1981 and 2007 compared to the previous centuries between 1600 and 1980 due to climate change.
Climate change is causing shifts in growing grapes for wine, according to a newly published study conducted by NASA and Harvard University.
Researchers found that, between 1981 and 2007, grapes were harvested much earlier compared to the previous centuries between 1600 to 1980 regardless of drought conditions.
As such, a NASA news release states, “The results indicate a fundamental shift in the role of drought and moisture as large-scale drivers of harvest time and wine quality.”
