Climate change is hurting the wine market! Kim & Bryan break it down. Give us your thoughts in the comments below!

“The science journalism world loves to talk about how climate change will ruin wine. (Almost as much as we like talking about how it’ll make chocolate go extinct.) But while rising temperatures could render some of the world’s best viticulture regions too hot or too dry for today’s most popular varietals, that doesn’t have to mean the end of the world for oenophiles.

It could just mean wine growers need to expand their genetic portfolio.

That’s according to a perspective paper published Monday in Nature Climate Change, which explored how the genetic diversity already present within the world’s thousands of wine grapes could help the industry adapt to the climatic challenges of the future. That’s good news for those who need their vino fix at the end of the day, because shifting the world’s wine growing regions to save chardonnay is likely to take generations."
