The style of wine produced in a region is a result of the baseline climate, while the climatic variability determines differences in the quality of the vintage. The production and quality of wines is likely to be affected by changes in meteorological and climatic conditions. Potential quantitatively evaluated on the basis of potential yield and qualitative potential has been defined by the weight and volume of grain, sugar, acidity, gluco-acidimetric index. In the present paper, we have investigated the relationships between climatic variability and the quantitatively and qualitatively potential of the grape production and wine quality in the Dealu Mare Valea Calugareasca. Regarding the yield potential of the grape production was found that the rate of increase was 0.28-0.74 kg/vine and the growth rate of gluco-acidimetric index was 0.5-1.0. Analysis of average air temperature ranges reveals changes in all seasons: significant warming of about 1.2°C during summer and 0.8°C in spring, and a slight cooling trend of 0.4°C was noted in autumn.
