Focusing on the adaptation of grape varieties to higher latitudes, this book explores the emerging viticulture in Nordic and Baltic countries, as well as Poland. It delves into the unique challenges posed by climate, soil, and photoperiodism in these regions, contrasting them with traditional grape-growing areas. Rather than serving as a practical guide, it offers insights into how current northern growing conditions differ from established practices and examines the implications of climate change on future viticulture in these areas.
