12 Delicious Foods That Might Disappear for Good Soon

WINE GRAPES

Of the 1,100 planted varieties of wine grapes that exist, approximately 12 of them – that’s 1% – make up the majority of our favorite wines. According to a recent study by Nature Climate Change, oenophiles should probably begin weaning themselves off the good stuff now – there’s a potential drop in wine production of around 85% over the next 50 years, as regions known for fine wine like Napa and Sonoma counties become too hot to produce premium wines.

A glimmer of hope does exist: Nature Climate Change theorizes that if wine growers begin to exploit the diversity of those other 1,088 wine grape varieties in earnest, the industry could survive. It’s all about adaptation.
