We may surmise that the Iran war’s impact on the wine trade is unlikely to be uppermost in the minds of Tehran or Dubai residents. Nevertheless, this economic shock will be real. Inflation soared and glass prices skyrocketed when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022; worse will likely happen now that Gulf oil and gas are choked off. The larger point is that the wine industry has become dependent on unsustainable use of fossil fuels: for energy, for shipping, for the petrochemical feedstocks used in most synthetic pesticides, and for the natural gas used in nitrogen-based fertilisers. At the same time, our use of those fuels is driving climate change.
