Get ready to whine.
If you didn't think this year could un chant d amour voyerism eroticismpossibly get any worse, you're wrong.
On top of all your existing 2016 worries, you now have to deal with the horrifying reality that global wine production has fallen by 5 percent.
As a result of extreme weather events, the International Organisation of Vine and Wine(OIV) reported that since 2015 there have been steep drops in wine production throughout the southern hemisphere.

Though this year's estimated 259 mhl of wine is expected to meet consumer demand (thank goodness), fans of Malbec might have cause for alarm since areas of South America showed the most dramatic decline in production.
Figures show that Argentina's wine production dropped 35 percent this year. Chile, the world's seventh-biggest producer, dropped by 21 percent. And South Africa dipped 19 percent. All of these slowdowns affected production of Malbec and Carménère varieties.
The OIV largely attributed the production decline to climate-related events, reminding us all that global warming directly impacts harvest and should be taken seriously.
As noted byThe Guardian, the Earth Institute at Columbia University released a report earlier this year stating, "Across the world, scientists have found that each degree centigrade of warming pushes grape harvests forward roughly six or seven days."
The earlier harvests and data compiled suggest that several regions could eventually become too hot for traditionally grown grapes, which would cause vineyards to alter their methods in the future.
Though this year's overall 5 percent decrease sounds grim, it wasn't a poor production year for everyone. Australia, for example, increased production by 5 percent and New Zealand increased by an impressive 35 percent. Way to go, champs.
Even so, if you're reading this article while nervously clutching your throw pillow that says, "When in doubt, drink wine," you might want to consider taking a trip to Italy, which produced the most wine in 2016, followed by France, Spain, the United States, Australia and China.
