• Resumen

  • Recently, China has become an exciting wine consumer market, as well as one of the most important wine producers. China’s domestic wine industry is in the enviable position of contributing approximately 70% of the total wine consumed with a 1.36 billion population market and the second-largest world economy. Current studies of the Chinese wine industry are mostly focused on the wine market. However, global climate change, which affects the quantity, quality and distribution of wine, will have a strong impact on the Chinese domestic wine industry. In this paper, we characterize the impact of climate change in China and establish policy, financial, technical, institutional and collaborative adaptation strategies for the Chinese wine industry.
