Today, there are many commercial wineries in several countries in the tropical zone of the globe, like in Brazil, India, Thailand and Venezuela. Considered a challenge in the past, producing quality wines in the tropics became reality. This article analyses the tropical viticulture for wine production, where grapevines are constantly growing.
