Climate change hitting where it hurts: your wine

Spend a day at a wine grape growers’ summit and, among many other things, you’re left with no doubt about the reality of climate change. Spend another day with a savvy grape grower touring the Barossa and you’re left with no doubt about the cost of it and the uncertainty about where it’s heading. That’s not news for those who follow the wine industry closely at the production level, but for those of us who concentrate on consumption, the matter-of-factness of the change is rather startling.
