Climate change and Wine making

In a article via Yale, John McQuaid states that the wine industry will look different in the future. Making wine has not been at a better time in America in a long time. Because of warming temperature, wine famers are harvesting their grapes one month earlier than usual. The warming temperature gives farmers more time to harvest quality grapes in America. Europe is a different case. Warming temperatures will lead to rising sea levels. Some farmers are in the process of moving their farms away from the shores so that it won't be an issue in the future. Although the warming temperature is helping some in the wine industry, it is causing a headache for others.
