      I don’t get it. Isn’t Germany growing Riesling along the Rhine river for a long time by now? Not just that in 2025 it became suitable.

      No wine in Mosel or Rhine-Valleys in 1960s?
      This dataset is increadibly inaccurate…

    3. Alentejo, Portugal has tons of wine, since the Romans, and yet according to this map it doesn’t even have wine (what does the gray color even mean?)

    4. this map is shit- Austrias historic wine area is far bigger

      and there would be more land suitable, but not used for it

      The southeast of Ireland now has a small number of vineyards producing decent wine.

      What happened to Cyprus, there is a whole region known as vineyard villages, and grapes are grown elsewhere too.

      Whine is not just sun. Its soil and frost at the wrong time will kill them. Not sure if thats correct.

    8. The Basque country in northern Spain and southern France has documented evidence of wine cultivation for thousands of years.

      There are still 1000 year old vineyards in operation. They didn’t just start making wine there in the 2020’s. This map is VERY wrong

      This year I had lots and lots of grapes, big and good berries. But few weeks before they ripened, everything froze and all I could harvest were some grapes from neighbors‘ plant that hanged outside fence (since Roman Empire ages it is illegal and what growth is theirs, but they allowed as after full-scale war started they can’t visit their house more than few times a year)

      Vitis vinifera can tolerate much harsher climates than one might think, its just that the yields and flavors vary a lot. Not trying to deny climate change though

    11. This map is nonsense. According to it, no suitable climate existed in Germany to grow grapes in 1960, but obviously German wines have existed for hundreds of years.

      Then the little disclaimer at the bottom says „does not account for slopes“ when the vast majority of vineyards are on slopes for a variety of reasons : sun exposure, drainage, reduced risk of frost and disease, and so on.

      If your map of ‚wine growing suitable regions‘ excludes the most common way to grow vines, then your map is trash.

      We’ve been producing wine in Cymru for quite a long time, yet there’s nothing on the map for us. Afaik the most northerly of these is near Aberaeron in mid Wales.

      They say that southern England is now a better climate for making Champagne than the actual Champagne region is.

      England isn’t quite correct. The entire south of England has the climate to produce wine and it has done since Roman times. Grapes are even grown as far north as York

      There are several German wine regions missing on this map (Palatinate, Franconia, Baden etc.)

      I had some very nice Herefordshire wine recently, there are a bunch of vineyards here.

      Wine has been produced in Bohemia around the Elbe and Morava rivers since 14th century
