Candidates for the southernmost cultivated vines on the earth's southern vine belt are wineries in the southernmost areas of the countries Argentina (Tierra del Fuego), Chile (Bío-Bío) or New Zealand (South Island). The "Black Ridge" winery in Alexandra between Queenstown and Dunedin on New Zealand's South Island claims to be the southernmost winery in the world. A little further south, however, there is another winery called "Dry Gully's Vineyards". The wine-growing region is Central Otago and lies at the 45th parallel. Due to climate change, some of the wine-growing areas are expected to shift; candidates are the countries of Australia, Chile and New Zealand. However, the wine-growing regions in the northern hemisphere will probably be much more affected.
