A lecture by the author on the
impact of geology and climate change on viticulture is available
by arrangement. For maximum educational benefit it is recommended
that this be followed by a practical workshop. Please

Map showing the northern limits
of British viticulture in the Roman and Medieval warm phases,
the Little Ice Age and the present Industrial Revolution warm
phase.
Had the decline in viticulture during the 15th - 19th centuries
been due to factors other than climate then the geographic limits
of viticulture should have remained unchanged. The restriction
of vineyards to southeast England suggests that the ebb and flow
of viticulture across Britain is climatically controlled.
This conclusion therefore enables predictions to be made of the
future northward advance of winelands if global warming continues.
