Evaluation of Climate Change Effects on the Wine Industry: An Interdisciplinary Approach

In this study, the relationship between viticulture and climate change is widely investigated and different approaches are proposed. However, a deficiency of applications emerges, considering the numerous and varied effects of this phenomenon. This paper aims to propose an innovative approach to estimate climate change effects on wine production. It integrates various scientific competencies via the construction of a framework that connects the effects of climate change with a farm’s profitability and structure, entrepreneurs’ characteristics and agro-meteorological, phonological, eco-physiological and oenological data. A new interdisciplinary model is formulated using the Romanian wine industry as a case study.
