Wine loses its taste because of emissions

Wine, the pride of France, will face a gloomy future if the climate change summit in Denmark at the end of the year fails to reach an agreement on cutting emissions.

This is a warning from Greenpeace Organization (Green Peace) and the top 50 wine producers and chefs in France. They gave an opinion on an article in the Le Monde daily. ' Quality of wine is declining because of climate change ', the article affirmed.

As explained by the manufacturers, the warming of the globe makes the taste of French wines become more and more "heavy" and their alcohol content also increases.

' If the earth's temperature continues to increase, our wine will lose its characteristic seductive flavor ', the firm expressed.

Greenpeace warns that if humans cannot reduce carbon emissions, the world wine map will change forever because vineyards must move 1,000 km southward between now and the end of the century.

To survive, the French wine industry needs an ambitious agreement whereby rich countries have to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2020.

' We urge leaders and environmental management agencies of the world's leading wine producers to act together so that negotiations in Copenhagen this December will lead to the creation of an agreement. International for cutting greenhouse gas emissions ', wine producers say.
