Portuguese vineyards harvest grapes at night to preserve quality amid rising temperatures.
In Portugal’s Alentejo region, vineyards are harvesting grapes at night to combat climate change, with workers picking under moonlight and headlamps from midnight to 8 a.m. to avoid extreme daytime heat that damages grape quality.
This shift, increasingly common since 2019, helps preserve acidity and flavor, especially as temperatures reach 40°C (104°F).
The practice, also seen in parts of Spain and Italy, reflects broader adaptations in viticulture to rising global temperatures.
