Rising global temperatures could change where the majority of the world's wine is produced as mid-latitude regions may no longer be able to grow grapes.

Rising global temperatures could change where the majority of the world’s wine is produced as mid-latitude regions may no longer be able to grow grapes, according to researchers.

Up to 70% of current wine-producing regions could face a substantial risk of losing the suitability for wine-growing if global temperatures increase beyond 2 degrees Celsius since the Industrial Revolution, a review of more than 200 studies published Tuesday in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment found.

      In theory yes, you could air root and transfer a plant but it’s harder in practice and the grapes may not be the same if the soil type and water type are drastically different in the new location.
