Study: 90% of traditional vine-growing regions in Spain, Italy or Greece in lowland and coastal areas are at risk of disappearing as a consequence of climate change. How drastic the changes will actually be depends on how much the planet continues to warm.

A warmer climate is expected to benefit wine growing in colder areas now not as suitable as Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Northern Germany or Patagonia. For vineyards below 45°North, the only possible measure would be to move crops to higher altitudes.
