Winemakers are learning that conservation can be good for business
摘要
南非西开普地区集中了500多家葡萄园，该地区贡献南非约90%的葡萄酒产量，但酿酒商正日益面临干旱、高温和降雨不规律等问题。过去五十年，当地升温速度约为全球平均水平的1.5至2倍，极端风暴也随气候波动加剧而增强。2010年代后期连续三年严重干旱使葡萄园承压并减产。在气候波动加大葡萄生产压力的背景下，许多葡萄酒生产商正依托葡萄园管理中长期采用的可持续措施加以应对
More than 500 vineyards are scattered across the slopes and valleys of South Africa’s Western Cape, one of the world’s most biologically diverse landscapes. The region produces about 90 percent of South Africa’s wine, but winemakers there are increasingly struggling with drought, excessive heat and erratic rainfall.
Temperatures in the region have risen 1.5 to 2 times faster than the global average over the past five decades. And extreme storms have become more intense as climate variability increases. The late 2010s brought a significant challenge for winemakers, as three years of severe drought placed vineyards under intense stress and reduced grape production.
As climate variability places increasing pressure on grape production, many wine producers are building on sustainability measures that have long been part of vineyard management.
