Global warming: the biggest challenge to face the Australian wine sector

摘要

One hears and reads lots of bad press about the wine sector nowadays. This is because of surplus grape production, largely in the hot irrigated regions, though the effects are not limited to there. As bad as the situation is for some growers, this is a minor situation compared with that which faces us in the future. I speak here of the impacts of climate change, commonly referred to as 'global warming'. Currently the wine sector is planning another strategic review, I wonder will they take global warming into account?
