Scandinavian countries, particularly Denmark and Sweden, are emerging as unexpected players in the winemaking industry, driven by climate change and innovative grape varieties. With over 150 commercial wineries in Denmark and 47 in Sweden, winemakers are adapting to challenging conditions and producing unique wines, including floral whites and robust reds. However, high production costs and a competitive European market pose significant challenges. Experts note that while climate change aids growth, the introduction of hardier grape varieties is the primary catalyst for this evolving industry.
