   Whatta load of horse hockey. From wiki: “The history of Bordeaux wine spans almost 2000 years to Roman times when the first vineyards were planted. In the Middle Ages, the marriage of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine opened the Bordeaux region to the English market and eventually to the world’s stage. “

   The South of France has had far more snow than normal the last 3 winters.

   Climate is always changing and people just adapt. They used to produce wine in the UK, but during the Little Ice Age the producing areas moved south.

   Bull$hit.

   I did a bit of a search of the AR4 a little over a year ago to see if there was any benefits of AGW according to the IPCC.
   One of the few benefits was that grape vines would yield more and the wine from these vines would be of slightly higher alcohol content.

   From the vine comes the grape, from the grape comes the wine.

   From the alarmist comes the alarm, from the alarm comes more alarmists.
