NASA Study Finds Climate Change Shifting Wine Grape Harvests in France and Switzerland

During a study of wine grape harvest dates from 1600 to 2007, researchers discovered harvests began shifting dramatically earlier during the latter half of the 20th century. These shifts were caused by changes in the connection between climate and harvest timing.
