Economic and Social Impacts of Climate Change on Wine Production

Climate change is one of the most debated scientific issues and is a relevant concern for the wine industry everywhere in the world because it affects the production and the quality of wine grapes and wine. Economic and social impacts of climate change are considered, highlighting the main categories of analysis which refer to the effects and adaptation strategies that operators are already facing (short term) and those that are forecasted to occur in the future (long term). The proposed framework of analysis has been used to present a literature review of the main research contributions on the subject, and, finally, some additional issues to study are suggested.
