A heat wave is scorching large parts of Europe as I write this, with temperatures touching 45 °C in parts of France. But while we humans are suffering, it is worth asking: what about the vines?

It can be accelerated ripening and potentially unbalanced wines, water stress, irrigation challenges, forest fire risk, and just simply how to manage harvesting in extreme heat.
