The findings of the present experiment highlighted the changes in climate related to the viticulture suitability of the ER’s DOP zones during two periods, 1961–1990 and 1986–2015. Detected changes in the BI may affect suitability to produce high-quality wine in the ER’s DOP areas, which could become ‘too hot’ for the production of these wines. The negative impact of rising temperatures on wine production could be mitigated by planting later ripening grape varieties comparing to those currently present in the ER DOP zones. Also, the experiment results suggested that warmer and drier conditions in the last 3 decades (1986–2015) decreased soil water availability necessary for plants development in the ER DOP zones, which implies the need of updated strategy for future implementation of irrigation systems in vineyards.
