Steinbeck would have a field day with the ‘climate change criers’ and their fixations on wine growing changes.

We are in yet another “natural inter-glacial”!
Cope with it and adapt to it!
That’s what survivors do!
Unicorns and Wooley Mammoth's not so much!

Does Natural Global Warming have good grape-wine outcomes?
“Farmers in medieval England launched a thriving wine industry. Good wines demand warm springs free of frosts, substantial summer warmth and sunshine without too much rain, and sunny days in the fall.

The northern limit for grapes during the Middle Ages was about 300 miles above the current commercial wine areas in France and Germany.”
