Traditional wine regions are facing new challenges, while new regions are emerging as viable wine producers. As temperatures rise, areas that were once too cold for wine production are becoming suitable for vineyards. For instance, regions in Northern Europe, such as England, are now producing high-quality sparkling wines.

Berry flavor depends on sugar, acid, and aromatic compounds, Marvin Pritts, Professor at Cornell University, tells Food Tank. “If any one of these is out of balance, then the fruit won’t taste as good.” Highly weather-sensitive, sugar levels dilute in rain and intensify in sunlight, Pritts explains. This is an example of how climate change affects our food. “How Climate Change is Transforming Food Flavor and Tradition”, more can be read on the Food Tank News
