Description of the measure

Adapting wine profile to consumers' demand but also for overcoming climatic stress with an impact on grapes quality

Comments on sustainability

Wines' characteristics has changed over the time as consumers' preferences do. This gives win producers more chances to overcome some problems (eg. Heavy and alcoholic wines, a regular problem for red varieties affected by heat waves, can be balanced with a higher acidity)
