Abstract: As a result of abnormal heat – a manifestation of climate change – in recent years, the grapes reached maturity considerably earlier than usual; the process of changing the sugar/acidity ratio in early-ripening varieties slowed down significantly, while in late-ripening grapes, the rise in sugar content and reduction in acidity continued. According to the PRECIS model, from 2021 to 2050, the mean temperature in Azerbaijan is expected to rise by 1.5°C-1.6 °C, and precipitation by 0-20%, depending on location. Now, vineyards are located mainly at altitudes of 800-900 m above sea level, while the upper frontier of viticulture is around 1100-1300 m. Considering that every 100 m of elevation leads to a decrease in temperature by 0,6°C, it is possible to predict that climate warming will move the upper frontier of viticulture by 200-450 m by 2050. This shift will create favorable conditions for new vineyards in high-mountain areas located at 1400-1700 m above sea level, including in the East Zangezur economic region of Azerbaijan, which was recently returned to government control.
