Germany's wine industry is most famous for world class Riesling produced aLong the Rhein and its tributary the Mosel. There is wide agreement that the white wines from the best sites and the most reputable producers are some of the greatest in the world.
However the country's winemakers are proving convincingly that they can make great wine from other varieties, helped in Part by Climate change. For example, fine German Spätburgunder (Pinot Noir) is now emerging from various regions, particularly Baden, Pfalz and even the tiny Ahr Valley.
As of 2017 the country boasted around 102,000 hectares (252,000 acres) of Vineyards. This placed Germany 14th in the world.

Unsurprisingly, Riesling leads the way with 23 percent of the total. Its area has grown slightly since 1995.
That year, Müller-Thurgau just pipped Riesling as the most planted variety. However surface area has almost halved and in 2017 it accounted for 12 percent of vineyards - much declined but still at that point Germany's number two variety by area.
New research on grapevine trunk diseases has shown how fungi can collaborate to attack a vine via a kind of ‘extracellular bomb’. Antioxidants may help wineries to fight back, said the international group of researchers led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) have been of growing concern to vineyard owners in recent decades. Almost 20% of the world’s vineyards were affected, said the International Organisation for Vine & Wine in 2015. A 201 ...

Winemakers take the messy chaos of natural processes and add discipline, giving shape and direction to produce a stable and enticing wine. This was never nature’s intent. The storyteller takes a messy chaos of random events, either imagined ...
Higher growing season temperatures over the next 20 years are likely to further increase the UK’s potential for wine production, according to new modelling on ‘near-term’ climate change impact on the sector. Yet wineries also need flexibility to adapt to challenges, said the study, published in the Oeno One journal and part of a wider project on climate resilience in UK wine. Conditions seen in the excellent 2018 vintage are set to become more common in several areas, including East ...
