Heretical global warming nonsense.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch the tip of the iceberg, no pun:
Global warming good for N.S. wine (Nova Scotia)
GRAND PRE — For all its horrors, global warming is creating one benefit for some wineries: better growing seasons and better wines.
French Winemakers Welcome Warmer Summers
In 2003, France got a glimpse of what the future may hold. A summer heat wave broke all temperature records, straining the country's medical and energy resources. But a future of warmer summers could bring unexpected pleasures — including wine.

Since this is from the NYT, I think they were thinking more along the lines of those five for a dollar "wines." ROTFL!
Great job with those other two articles though. Seems the winemakers don't agree with the girlymen in the "media."

“’If business continues as usual, in 50 years who is going to give a damn about wine? That’s not going to be our biggest problem,’ Pancho Campo, founder of the Wine Academy of Spain.”
Yer right, dude - your biggest problem is going to be that Spain will be majority Mohammedan in 30 years (according to Mark Steyn, native Spaniards are only producing 1.1 kids per couple).

Wine may be harmed, but looks like the raisin industry may benefit.

Great! If wine is “affected”, maybe it won’t taste like spoiled grape juice.

Nice finds. Attended a fabulous pinot & burgundy tasting last Sunday.

Then wine is safe as there is no global warming.

Maybe “Vineland” will be covered with grapes again, just like it was when those Vikings found it. Then the earth will be at the same conditions when they went out for a sail.

..Several studies have predicted that some of the world?s most prized grape-growing regions could eventually become unsuitable for growing fine wine grapes if global temperatures continue to rise.
Dry warm areas is bad for grapes?
I thought cold, wet weather was bad for grapes. Fungus,chill, and at. al. etc.
Guess those California and Australian wine growers got it all wrong/sar.
