German ice wine will become extinct in 2020

Updated: May 22, 2021

Everyone knows the greenhouse effect. Polar bears are skinny and must eat their own companions to survive; Antarctic penguins can only live on the soil because the ice melts and get dirty.

However, even by knowing these two animals' extinction in this century still feels very far away; some people even think they won't be alive by then anyway. But that's wrong!!! As for now, yes, it is NOW, some of these animals has disappeared already!


Do you know German ice wine? Do you know how to make ice wine?

Grapes are harvested between -7 and -10 degrees, and then pressed immediately to squeeze the very sweet and concentrated grape juice before fermenting. Because yeast cannot tolerate high sugar content, most German ice wines have only 6-8% alcohol concentration. However, due to global warming in recent years, such temperatures have come later and later, and the grapes have matured earlier and earlier. The grapes cannot stay on the vine in the best condition for such a long time that German ice wine is going to be extinct!
