Figure 2. Observed growing season average temperature anomalies for a) the Beaujolais region of Burgundy, b)
the Rhine Valley, c) Barolo, and d) Bordeaux as analyzed by (Jones et al., 2005a). The temperature data are
monthly values extracted from a 0.5° x 0.5° grid ce ntered over the wine producing regions for 1950-1999. Tavg
is the average growing season temperature (Apr-Oct in the Northern Hemisphere and Oct-Apr in the Southern
Hemisphere), Tstd is the standard deviation of monthly temperatures during the growing season, and the Trend
is over the 50-year period.
