Traditional Mediterranean crops, such as grapevine, a permanent wood crop, are well adapted to the lack of water and recurrent drought in the Mediterranean region. This study uses grapevine production indicators that are widely used by practitioners, linking science to the tools used by practitioners and therefore encouraging action and innovation among all stakeholders. The study evaluates potential adaptation choices that may contribute to real-time policy analysis and development as national and international policies and agreements in the grapevine production sector. The climate changes scenarios are derived from global datasets. Adaptation efforts are estimated proportionally to the change of the climatic indices and are categorized into low, medium or high, as a function of the excepted changes in climatic indices. The study emphasizes that non-informed adaptation limits future choices in areas severely impacted. The content of the study is based on the results of the iSQAPER (http://www.isqaper-project.eu/) H2020 project and the UPM Adapt project.
