Within the framework of the Human Resource Development Operative Program, the possibilities of sustainable agriculture and rural development were investigated, including the relationship between grapes and the climate. Based on the analysis of the available data spanning several decades, the biggest losers may be Kékfrankos, Gräikbarat, Tramini and Sauvignon Blanc.
The focus is on the Csongrád, Hajós-Baja, Kunság and Pécs wine regions
"We wanted to know how the climatic conditions for grape growing and winemaking in Hungary will change in the future," outlined in his dissertation associate professor László Lakatos, head of the Department of Environmental Science and Landscape Ecology, at the Károly Eszterházy University in Eger.
The researchers used data from the National Council of Mountain Villages as a basis, projecting the crop data for the entire country. Weather factors and variables characteristic of the growing areas were compared with the amount of the grape harvest, so the scientists were able to obtain statistically more evaluable data. In the case of the named wine regions, the yield restriction is the smallest compared to the country as a whole, this means that in the case of the lowland wine regions, the amount of grape harvest was less affected by this year's weather conditions, the quality values are still questionable.
