Climate change and English wines

Oops... Few minutes passed since I published the first message and already feeling an urge to post a random thought again. Spooky.

Yesterday I was talking to AN visiting our university about climate change impact on wine and bourbon production in the US. Anyway, for some reason a considerable scientific effort in climate change research is devoted to a potential impact on production of spirits. I have a NY Times publication from the 19th century where they talked how  "recent climate change"  ruined wine production in the UK.  I really enjoyed the culmination point - "nobody will regret about this sorrow stuff". I wonder if same is true about English wines now. Never tested any. Sorrow stuff, heh.
