Abstract in brief

  • The study examines how seasonal weather conditions affect Bordeaux wine quality, measured by critics' scores, by analyzing detailed local and regional weather data throughout the year.
  • Findings show that higher rainfall, warmer temperatures, and shorter growing seasons are linked to better wine quality, with these effects consistent across different local wine regions (AOCs).
  • The research suggests that as climate change progresses, Bordeaux wine quality may improve due to these favorable weather trends, and it highlights potential management strategies to adapt to changing conditions.]
