Climate change is projected to significantly alter the geography of wine production by 2100, notably benefiting the growth of Cabernet Sauvignon in the UK. This grape variety could thrive as far north as Hull and across various regions of England and Wales. The report from Bain & Company highlights a shift in optimum growing conditions, with warmer temperatures allowing more northern countries like Germany and Belgium to cultivate this grape, while it may become too hot for traditional growing areas in Mediterranean Europe.
According to a new report, higher temperatures will provide perfect conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon further north. In the UK, it could be grown up to Hull by 2100.
According to the report, it's not just England and Wales that will benefit, but also Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Lithuania and Latvia.
The first annual Fine Wines and Restaurants Market Monitor report shows that 'climate change is redrawing the wine map', particularly for the widely recognized Cabernet Sauvignon.
While warmer climates in northern Europe might support better grape growing, southern areas will become too hot, affecting Cabernet Sauvignon yields in places like northern Spain and southern France.
