The importance of Viticulture and the Winemaking socio-economic sector is acknowledged worldwide.
The current Special Issue allows for the expansion of scientific knowledge in these particular fields of research, as well as providing a path for future research..
Contributions from different fields were considered, including crop and Climate modeling, and potential adaptation measures against these threats.
To provide hints on the abovementioned issues, we have edited a Special Issue entitled "Viticulture and Winemaking under Climate Change".
Although grapevines have high resilience, the clear evidence for significant Climate Change in the upcoming decades urges adaptation and mitigation measures to be taken by sector stakeholders.
Moreover, several Climate scenarios give evidence of enhanced stress conditions for grapevine growth until the end of the century.
Recent trends already point to a pronounced increase in growing season mean temperatures, as well as changes in precipitation regimes, which have been influencing wine typicity across some of the most renowned Winemaking regions worldwide.
Considering the strong influence of weather and climatic factors on grapevine yields and berry quality attributes, Climate Change may indeed significantly impact this crop.
The most renowned Winemaking regions show very specific environmental characteristics, where Climate usually plays a central role.
