For several years there has been a marked increase in interest in viticulture and wine production in Poland. Important factors responsible for the growth of the aforementioned trend are the climatic changes taking place, but also the introduction into cultivation of new grape varieties that are resistant to frost and are resistant or not very sensitive to diseases. Vineyards in Poland are being established not only in the southern region, but also in central and northern Poland. The Świętokrzyskie voivodeship, which is usually not strongly associated with viticulture, may show considerable potential for viticulture and wine production due to its climate, which is quite varied and shows characteristics of a temperate climate (the north of the voivodeship has annual temperatures below 7℃, while the south is around 8℃). The increase in annual temperatures during the grape growing season is the most favorable effect that results from the gradual warming of the climate. It is expressed as the Sum of Active Temperatures (SAT) and is considered one of the most important indicators that determines the possibility of wine production in each area. The above indicator is calculated by the sum of all average daily temperatures during the growing season of grapevines, which are calculated from 10℃ upwards of the recorded average daily temperatures in the period from April 1 to October 31. The purpose of the study was to assess the potential for the development of viticulture in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship – central Poland. More than 31,000 meteorological data from 1975-2021, which were obtained from the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGiW), were analyzed and used to calculate the Sum of Active Temperatures in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship. The analyses carried out indicate that there was a dynamic growth of grape crops during the period in question. The average annual growth rate index SAT was 0.08%. The values obtained prevail in favor of the possibility of growing grapevines in the Świętokrzyskie voivodeship. In particular, from such varieties as, for example, Regent (for the production of red wines), and Solaris (for the production of white wines).
