Britain used to have a wine industry.
Nova Scotia used to grow grapes — the Vikings called it “Vinland”.

We’re currently in a cold phase, in the big scheme of things.

"The Romans introduced wine making to England, and even tried to grow grapes as far north as Lincolnshire. Winemaking continued at least down to the time of the Normans with over 40 vineyards in England mentioned in the Domesday Book, although much of what was being produced was for making communion wine for the Eucharist."wikipedia
