CPOY 74 Interpretive Project Silver: Warmer Climate, New Nature

Climate change is starting to become evident, even in Denmark. If we take a close look, it is possible to see small signs that the nature around us is beginning to change. Some changes are direct effects of global increases in temperature, some to a smaller extent. Nevertheless, it is safe to say that that nature is evolving faster and more dramatically than usual.

Increase in temperature, along with new types of wine-plants has made it possible to produce wine in Denmark. Since the 1980’s, Danish wine farmers has experimented with wine production and the output has gone from the neglect able to approximately 1500 hectoliters red and white wine per year in commercial production. But its not certain what the future will hold for Danish wine, because even though warm summers like 2018 was great for the wine production, wet ones like 2017 was a catastrophe. Both are a possible outcome as a result of climate change. On the picture: Wine from Dyrehøj Vineyard Source: Foreningen Dansk Vin (association of Danish Wine)
