The climate characteristics of a wine region will have significant influence on the viticulture in the area. Pictured are terraced vineyards in Northern Portugal's Douro Valley. In viticulture, the climates of wine regions are categorised based on the overall characteristics of the area's climate during the growing season. [1]
The Winkler Index, sometimes known as the Winkler Scale or Winkler Regions, is a technique for classifying the climate of wine growing regions based on heat summation or growing degree-days. In the system, geographical areas are divided into five climate regions based on temperature converted to growing degree-days , and is commonly known as ...
Macroclimate, in viticulture, refers to the regional climate of a broad area such as an American Viticultural Area (AVA) or a French Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC). It can include an area on the scale of tens to hundreds of kilometers. On smaller scales are the related designations of mesoclimate and microclimate. [1]
Wine production in 2014 [1]. Wines are produced in significant growing regions where vineyards are planted. Wine grapes mostly grow between the 30th and the 50th degrees of latitude, in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, typically in regions of Mediterranean climate.
About 10 per cent of global wine comes from the US west coast, and in particular northern California’s Napa Valley, where some of the best wines are produced.. Below 2C, coastal regions of ...
The Mosel river near the village of Kröv. The Mosel wine region has northernly continental climate that is marked by cool temperatures. The best producing vineyard sites are located along the Mosel river and its tributary where the heat from the sun can be maximized by reflection up from the water.
The study involved an analysis of data from Western European wine growing regions between the years 1600 to 2007. Variables that were examined include harvest dates, climate data, and weather ...
[2] [6] Napa Valley is considered one of the premier wine regions in the world. [7] Historical records of viticulture in the region date back to the nineteenth century, [8] but the modern premium wine production grew in the 1960s. [7] The combination of Mediterranean climate, geography and geology of the region are conducive to growing quality ...
