The wine industry, more than any other crop industries, needs to adapt to climate change. Given the socio-economic impact of
wine production, the specific influence of climate on viticulture and wine quality, and the key issues of localization and
innovations in this industry, it is worthwhile to explore not only the impacts of climate change on vine and wine but also the
current and future adaptation strategies.
Depending on the viticultural area under consideration, adaptation obviously raises distinct scientific issues. It is clear
that effective adaptation strategies will require a combination of different disciplines, technologies and approaches in both
natural and social sciences.
Invitation for you in Bordeaux under the auspices of the INRA ACCAF Meta-Program (Adaptation to Climate Change for Agro systems
and Forestry, projects LACCAVE and PERPHECLIM) to share common knowledge base on climate change issues, as well as gathering
data, defining adaptation strategies and providing decision rules to address the critical issue of climate change adaptation
for the wine industry.
The 3-day symposium is planned in four sessions:
a) Climate characterization and modelling at different scale and time levels,
b) Impacts of climate change on vine, wine and environment,
c) Possible adaptation strategies,
d) Evaluation of consumer perception and producer strategies.
Researchers are invited to present and discuss their leading edge research in this forum.
