One of the long-term effects of climate change in viticulture is a more frequent fungal attack. Problems caused by drought and erosion increase in steep areas. Fungal resistant grape varieties require less use of fungicides and machines. Due to that, cultivating such varieties is particularly desirable on steep slopes. But so far they have only made up around 2% of the cultivation area and the awareness of regional wines made from these grape varieties is correspondingly low. What is hindering sales and innovation? From cultivation to cellar management to consumers, it is examined how the additional benefits of these new grape varieties can be conveyed and how demand can be increased. For the winemakers, an app will also be created as a guide for sustainable work steps in viticulture, which can answer current questions.
