Rising global temperatures could change where the majority of the world's wine is produced as mid-latitude regions may no longer be able to grow grapes, according to researchers.

In theory yes, you could air root and transfer a plant but it's harder in practice and the grapes may not be the same if the soil type and water type are drastically different in the new location.
