- Description
- This paper presented by Dennis S. Roberts explores the historical and cultural significance of beer and wine, drawing connections between beverage preferences and climate changes over centuries. Focusing on the impact of the Little Ice Age on European drinking habits, it discusses the shift from wine to beer due to climatic cooling and technological advancements in beer production. It highlights how these shifts were influenced by economic, health, and social factors, including the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot. The paper is organized thematically, touching upon history, paleoclimatology, economics, and more, to provide a multidisciplinary perspective on how climate change has historically influenced human behavior, specifically in the context of alcoholic beverages.
