Wine grapes are very sensitive to their climate. Vintners historically produce top wines when an early wet season soaks the plants and a drought succeeds it, allowing the fruit to ripen. Two scientists affiliated with NASA, Columbia's Earth sciences center, and Harvard have assembled records of grape harvests for the past 400 years to show trends produced by changes in temperature and precipitation.
