Climate Change's Impact on Alcohol: Wine Gets Better, Beer Gets Worse

Climate change will change the taste of alcohol. Wine will become tastier, while beer will become worse and more expensive. Due to intense heat, vineyards in wine regions produce much better harvests. If the average temperature continues to rise, wine will become stronger and more flavorful in the future. However, the same intense heat negatively affects the content of alpha acids in hops, which give beer its characteristic aroma and bitter taste. Additionally, the heat can reduce the yield of hops, affecting its price.
