  • Currently, cabernet sauvignon is primarily grown in warmer European climates, but rising temperatures could make cultivation possible in areas like England, Germany, and southern Scandinavia.
  • Traditional wine regions like Bordeaux may become too hot and dry for wine production due to the changing climate.
