Overall, tropical climate is not the ideal climate for wine production because of constant rainfall and warm temperature. This is due to when the sun warms the air, it rises up to lower pressure, the air cools and produces rain clouds resulting in rainfall. This occurs daily in tropical climates, which is why it does not qualify as a suitable environment for wine production
