Climate change likely put fizz into efforts to meet demand for more sparkling wines
French winemakers are coming to terms with the findings of new research into global warming which could mean that the regions which are able to grow the grapes which produce the country’s famous Champagnes could be in danger.
In fact, the recent research by Greenpeace, published in a report titled Impacts of Climate Change on Wine in France, suggests that parts of southern England could well be better suited to growing the grapes renowned for their fresh, light and zesty flavours.
And as the Champagne region itself continues to warm, the report suggests, the wines produced here are likely to become more sugary and full-bodied, giving rise to ‘Champagne’ possibly becoming a totally different drink to that which has previously been associated with the name. The report warns that French grape-growing is very sensitive to climate change. It adds that, if the current situation continues, specific types of vineyards might be displaced by up to 600 miles from their present boundaries by the end of the 21st century.
French champagne is dependent on the production of the Pinot Noir grape, and in areas where these are grown, the annual average temperature has increased significantly. Greenpeace says that, if this change continues at its present rate, the French notion of ‘terroir’, or the specific association between a type of wine and the area in which its grapes are grown, could mean long-standing practices and know-how are lost, as the conditions for growing the grapes worsen.
On the other hand, France’s loss could be Britain’s gain, as Greenpeace suggests that, if the six degrees rise in temperatures forecast for the French was repeated here, it would transplant the ideal growing climate to our own shores. The current crops of French Pinot Noir grapes are being harvested up to three weeks earlier than they were 40 years ago, which many commentators believe is resulting in far less characterful wines and champagnes.
The spread of more favourable wine-growing conditions is having similar impacts in the southern hemisphere, where champagne-style wines are now being produced far more widely. For purists this may be bad news. But for many people who simply enjoy a good quality sparkling wine made in a similar style to the great French Champagne houses, this is a development which will be welcomed.
There is a great selection of drinks online and you can buy champagne and buy wine online for delivery direct to your home.

While it has long been accepted that consuming large amounts of alcohol during a pregnancy can be extremely harmful to the unborn baby, recent research is showing that consuming a small amount of wine during pregnancy does not seem to be harmful, and in some cases, might even be beneficial. It seems that there is a lot of conflicting information out there, and it leaves pregnant women wondering: is wine safe to drink during their pregnancy?
A recent UK study looked at cognitive and behavioral issues in 3-year-old children and interviewed their mothers as to alcohol usage during the pregnancy. As expected, the children of those who drank heavily showed the biggest behavioral problems and lapses in cognitive ability. What was surprising however was that those mothers who consumed small amounts of wine during pregnancy had children who performed better than those who had abstained altogether.
For the purposes of the study, a small amount, or light drinking was classified as no more than two small drinks (4 oz. of wine, or 10 oz. of weak beer) on one occasion, and no more than two occasions occurring per week. The study found no difference in effects between women who drank these small amounts somewhat regularly, and those who drank once or twice during the course of their pregnancy.
Since this study is relatively new, major policy-making bodies in the UK, as well as those in the US, still recommend drinking no wine during pregnancy, just to be on the safe side. In light of the new information however, one major UK body has suggested that it is quite all right for women to drink lightly during the second and third trimesters, but advocate complete abstinence in the first.
With this information, it seems that women, who wish to drink a small amount of wine during pregnancy, can do so without worrying about doing their unborn child harm. Since the health benefits of drinking moderate amounts of red wine have been well-documented, some women may not wish to give it up altogether during pregnancy. Of course, if you have any misgivings at all, it’s probably best to abstain altogether.
When in doubt, feel free to ask your doctor, is wine safe? Chances are, she will have her own opinion on the matter, and will be happy to share her reasons with you. A good OB/GYN will stay current on the latest research and will be able to apply it to your situation. As with so many other things, the matter of drinking wine during pregnancy seems to be resolved with the idea that moderation is key. If you have any doubts at all about your ability to limit yourself to two or less small glasses no more than twice a week, you might consider abstaining altogether. If that is in any way a problem, don’t hesitate to talk to your doctor.
Drinking wine during pregnancy is not necessarily a bad thing, so if you can exercise moderation, you can probably do it in a safe manner.

Does some deserve to be the top spot that has not demonstrated a strong knowledge of beer, wine, and spirits?
-only one that I have observed can claim this and he/she enjoys challenging questions.
You think everything is about you, IPA. PARANOID! LOL This is my name and one to promote honest people, unlike you, on yahoo answers.
I must now conduct a block of ignorance.
I like the first responses. However, I have vowed to rid this site of ignorance and no one here is more ignorant than the third answerer and major, as stated, “knucklehead.
As we all know it is my influence of spot on “near perfect” postings that give this section some validity. I will continue my rein as long as it is required. I do indeed deserve the top stop.
In rely a ‘friendly’ retort.
LMAO Wow, really?! So Chuckleheads and Knucklehead are two different words? Dah, ahhh… wow, it, really, neat, man. What a loser punk.
Some people are really so dense that they can not see into another’s twist of words and/or a displaced meaning (and when fitting apply them) as this is the case here? But you IPA/TE/Weatherman are far too short minded to see it. Therefore, my word and its use seem most appropriately applied to you. Are you so far bent and insecure because a person that can think, apply cognitive skills, and shows superiority in his area of expertise (beer for myself-obviously) far greater than your own that you continue with a failed masquerade on a silly blog? Give it up you are out manned, out skilled, and far too ignorant to do battle here, nay anywhere.
P. S.
The third person to answer on my screen, prior to the well-applied thumbs down was IPA and not the self-conscience and narcissistic one. What a sad and yet funny waste of a little life.
LMAO
Very good laugh.
This is getting more fun each day.
