I’m fascinated by (and also concerned about) the impact of climate change on the French wine industry. The growing line, if that’s the right term, has moved miles north into Britain. We’re going to see a vastly different industry in the immediate future.

Rising temperatures provide a huge challenge to winemakers (and others in the agricultural field) but wine in France comes with a lot of rule - where it can be grown, can you water the grapes, what types of grapes can be grown in what region for a wine, etc. and "hard and fast" rules are hard to adhere to when the climate is changing. It's interesting that places like Brittany, Normandy, and the UK may become more important wine regions.

Yes, the idea of my family’s part of France and Britain becoming wine regions is something I could never imagine. We are sweater-wearing people 😀
