Abstract

Wine is the main economic resource in the ‘Area of Jerez’, located in the south of Spain. It is one of the most important wine tourism destinations in the world. However, its sustainable production process, so strongly influenced by climatic conditions, can be clearly affected by the phenomenon of global warming. The ageing process of “Sherry wine” takes place in buildings known as ‘Cathedral warehouses’, an example of Nearly-Zero Energy Buildings (NZEBs). For centuries, they have been used to provide specific ecological conditions for biological ageing without any type of mechanical heating/cooling system. The purpose of this paper is to assess the impact of climate change on this production model. For this, the annual thermal behavior of a representative winery was monitored during several years. The first energy simulation model of this type of buildings was developed and validated (daily R2 = 99%; hourly R2 = 97%). Finally, the model was simulated by modifying the outdoor climatic conditions (9 years training data sets) for a climate change scenario, applying the ‘morphing’ method for the transformation of the weather data. The results show that, by the middle of this century, the average outdoor temperature will increase by 2.3 °C (in summer up to 3.6 °C). As a consequence, the temperature in the ageing zone would exceed the comfort limit for 19% of the year, (up to 34% in hot years). For 2080, the prediction is even worse (average value of 27%). As a result, the microorganisms responsible for this unique process could not maintain their activity. This fact will force the sector to face a harsh reconversion through the adoption of new mechanisms and strategies, which endangers the economic sustainability of an entire region dedicated to this practice. Beyond the specific case, the work highlights the need to evaluate the future behavior of NZEBs through simulation.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-26:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 45.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 43 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 57.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 3 (Altmetric).
  • The number of mentions in news outlets: 7 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/93236/

As a result of the publication of the work in the institutional repository, statistical usage data has been obtained that reflects its impact. In terms of dissemination, we can state that, as of

  • Views: 43

Project objectives

Los objetivos perseguidos en esta aportación se centran en evaluar el impacto del cambio climático en la producción sostenible del vino de Jerez en edificios de energía casi nula (NZEBs). Se pretende analizar el comportamiento térmico anual de una bodega representativa mediante monitorización durante varios años. Además, se busca desarrollar y validar el primer modelo de simulación energética para este tipo de edificios, con un ajuste diario R2 = 99% y horario R2 = 97%. También se pretende simular el modelo bajo escenarios de cambio climático aplicando el método de ‘morphing’ a datos meteorológicos de nueve años. Finalmente, se aspira a determinar las consecuencias del aumento de temperatura en la zona de envejecimiento y su impacto en la actividad microbiana y la sostenibilidad económica regional.

Most relevant results

Los resultados más relevantes del estudio evidencian el impacto significativo del cambio climático en la producción sostenible del vino de Jerez en edificios de energía casi nula (NZEBs). En primer lugar, se desarrolló y validó un modelo energético para estos edificios con un coeficiente de determinación diario R2 = 99% y horario R2 = 97%. En segundo lugar, las simulaciones climáticas predicen un aumento medio de la temperatura exterior de 2,3 °C para mediados de siglo, alcanzando hasta 3,6 °C en verano. En tercer lugar, la temperatura en la zona de envejecimiento superará el límite de confort durante el 19% del año, llegando al 34% en años cálidos y al 27% en 2080. Finalmente, esta situación compromete la actividad microbiana esencial para el envejecimiento biológico del vino.
