A new report shows where has wine production dried up the most in Europe.

Global wine production reached a historic low in 2023 and climate change could be to blame, a new report has revealed.

The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) says the drink hit its lowest level since 1962. This intergovernmental organisation has 50 member states, representing 75 per cent of the world’s vineyard area.

Experts blame “extreme environmental conditions” including droughts and fires that have been driving the downward trend in production.

I work in very high end restaurants.

Im starting to see wines come from appalations i would never consider to be "good" regions for these grapes, granted they are some of the oldest wine producing regions in the world.

Give it about 5-8 years, regions like champagne or barolo will be surpassed, replaced, and eventually considered low tier wines - though that last part will take a decade or two.

Its simultaneously exciting (yay new "classics"!) And terrifying.

I like this take. Tell me more: Do you think growers from those regions are already thinking ahead and buying up land for vineyards in locations that may do/are doing well in this "new climate"? If so, where are they and/or what are the Appalachians you are referring to? What we might consider New World Wines or something totally left of centre?
