The First World Meeting on Global Warming and Wine, organised in
Barcelona, on March 24th and 25th, 2006 was a success from all points
of view.
A hundred and forty eight professionals (including winemakers,
oenologists and sommeliers, both Spanish and foreign) took part in the
seminars and debates that, for two days, The Wine Academy of Spain
organised in order to analyse a problem that the wine industry has
never faced until now.
The leading world experts took part in this event, including: Dr. Greg
Jones from the University of Southern Oregon, Dr. Richard Smart from
Australia, Dr. David Smart from UC Davis, Dr. Mª Jose Truco
from UC Davis, Adam Lechmere from Decanter, Carlos Falco from Spain,
Dr. Christian Butzke from Purdue University, and Jose Picatoste from
the Spanish Office for Climate Change.
It was also remarkable the attendance of the international media
including names such as BBC, Bloomberg, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast,
Drinks Business Magazine, Wine Business, Il Corrieri Vinicolo,
Australia & New Zealand Wine Industry journal, TVE, TV3,
Vinealis… up to a total of 40 journalists from 17 countries
covered the event.
