Wine researchers from Oregon asked New Zealanders to help answer a flavor question: What do you think of the wine from the grapes affected by the 2020 wildfires?

The article from Yahoo News discusses a unique research project in Oregon where scientists are studying the impact of wildfire smoke on wine grapes and the resulting wine quality. Funded by a $6.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the research, led by Oregon State University, aims to develop strategies to mitigate the effects of smoke exposure on vineyards. The study involves exposing grapes to varying levels of smoke to understand how it affects the flavor and aroma of the wine, with the goal of helping winemakers adapt to the increasing frequency of wildfires due to climate change. The project also collaborates with other institutions and wineries to gather comprehensive data and develop practical solutions for the wine industry.
