Could the day come when we rave about a great vintage from Alaska?

That might be a little far fetched, but climatologists are warning that with the warming of the planet we may see the areas where great wines are grown moving farther North. England hasn't been appreciated as a great place for viniculurists for centuries, but the wines of Surrey may some day win the approval connoisuers. On the down side, Napa Valley could some day be as hot as California's more Southern Central Valley. Some regions in Germany and France are already benefiting from climate change, while parts of Spain and Australia are suffering from the rise in temperature.
