Russia: Temperature anomalies will lead to a decrease in grape yields in Crimea

Published 2024년 11월 11일

Tridge summary

The Republic of Crimea's grape yields are expected to decrease in 2024 due to temperature anomalies, which are likely to affect the quality of wines and champagnes made from the harvest. The Ministry of Agriculture has reported that high temperatures in March-April and a sharp drop in temperature during grape inflorescence formation have negatively impacted the grape plants, potentially leading to a decrease in overall yields. High temperatures in June-July, coupled with a lack of precipitation, can also affect the quality of wine products. However, high temperatures during late summer and early autumn can contribute to the accumulation of a higher sugar content in berries and aid in their ripening, potentially affecting champagne and dessert wines. The gross grape harvest of the 2023 harvest was 115.22 thousand tons, and the 2024 grape harvest began in mid-August and is expected to conclude in December.

Temperature anomalies in 2024 in the Republic of Crimea will lead to a decrease in grape yields in the region and will affect the quality of wines and champagnes made from this harvest, the republic's Ministry of Agriculture told TASS. "The early spring abnormally high temperature in March-April 2024 up to 30 degrees, followed by a sharp drop in temperature and frosts down to minus 4.5 degrees during the formation of grape inflorescences, negatively affected the physiology of grape plants. The plants experienced stress, which in the long term will lead to a decrease in yields in the region as a whole," the regional Ministry of Agriculture reported. It was noted that weather conditions directly affect the quality of wine products, including abnormally high temperatures in June-July 2024, accompanied by a lack of precipitation. At hot temperatures significantly exceeding 30 degrees, all grapevine growth processes slow down at any period of vegetation, the weight of bunches naturally ...
