The effects of climate change are taking root in the wine industry
What are the signs of global warming? Glaciers are melting at an increasingly rapid pace. Persistent droughts are spreading. And we have another to tell you about – wine, as in what you might crack open for Valentine's Day tomorrow.
And, as we first reported in December, it's hitting nearly all the winegrowing regions where they make dry whites, fruity reds and fizzy champagne.in these vineyards and villages of Champagne located in northeastern France. There's a mystique to champagne, an aura of romance. Coco Chanel once said,"I only drink champagne on two occasions, when I am in love and when I am not." They've been producing this"wine of kings" here for centuries.
Jacques Lurton: We don't have winters anymore, almost. In wintertime, normally you get colder conditions. These cool conditions tend to kill the funguses or the disease. So normally, winter cleans the situation, you see? But the most important problem that we have is what we call spring frost. Lesley Stahl: Yeah, we see it everywhere. It's not just in farm regions. I mean, every part of our country is experiencing some extreme weather condition. So how do you know it isn't that normal extreme weather as opposed to a general climate change?
In 2017 in Italy, spring frost combined with hailstorms and a heatwave known as"Lucifer" led to the lowest harvest in decades. Particularly hard hit was northern and central Italy, where prosecco, barolo and chianti are made. Nathalie Ollat: Yes, the idea is to have grapes– new varieties, which can be resistant to disease and also more adapted to climate change condition.
With all the gloom and doom about warming temperatures in wine country, there's actually a surprising upside. Today, a new industry has taken root: healthy vineyards in England are producing some of the world's best wines. This sprawling vineyard with acres and acres of wine grapes ready for harvest is located in Kent -- 40 miles outside of London.
