- Armed with secateurs and headlamps, grape pickers at a winery northwest of Barcelona are setting out into the vineyards before dawn at 3am, as Catalonia records its earliest grape harvest ever following intense summer heat.
- At the Gramona winery in the Anoia region, labourers have started gathering the crop several weeks ahead of the traditional August timeline.
- The adjustments come as organisations and businesses across Europe seek to adapt to climate change, following back-to-back heatwaves and temperatures far exceeding regional averages.
