It is to stupid people, they are incapable of focusing their attention on looking into a subject, they just go along with what their TV tells them to think.

[ The vineyards of France will move north to Ireland. France will stop producing wine because it will become a Muslim country. ]

Well if France Turns into a Desert the dwellers there will just love the sand between their toes in their sandals.

Yep, it’s all over for Pinot Noir. Or at least that’s what I’d be saying if I grew the stuff and wanted to make sure the price goes up.

There has been no global warming for 14-15 years now. None. Zilch. Nada. Zero.

Global temps have *maybe* risen a half degree in the last 100 years.

Mass insanity is really the only significant change in the last 100 years. sigh.

"A wine expert has warned that fine wines in particular, such as Pinot Noir, are having their flavour significantly altered due to climate change."

How does propaganda and untested junk science influence flavor? ...Oops, flavour

Weather has always had an effect on vineyards and wine production, not to mention wine quality. Warmer weather that began at the end of the mini ice age had an effect on the wine business, as will the cooling trend that is getting underway.

Much more likely to occur than Pinot Noir being overwhelmed by climate change, IMO.

Anything where they use Glo-bull warming as an excuse for.....they are lying.

I was in the grocery store when my 8-year old son asks if there is such a thing as organic milk, I said there was, and that organics was a hoax like global warming....you should have seen the looks of daggers I got from people (women) for telling him that...it was priceless.

The Merry Edwards Winery must not have gotten the memo. The last bottle of Pinot Noir I bought from them was stellar and cost $54 from Total Wine.

Yeah, climate change is a disaster.......almost as bad as making a crappy Pinot Noir.

The most celebrated and sought after red wine in the world comes from this vineyard and it is Pinot Noir throughout.

People wonder sometimes what I be thinkin’,
My approval ratings are low and they just keep on sinkin’.

It’s enough to drive a drinkin’ man back to drinkin’,
So I grab a 40 and go sit by my man, Lincoln.
