Hull to become ‘the new Bordeaux’ in British wine boom sparked by climate change
Why Hull could become ‘the new Bordeaux’ by 2100
- Climate change is predicted to shift wine production northward, potentially making Hull a hub for cabernet sauvignon in the next 75 years.
- Currently, cabernet sauvignon is primarily grown in warmer European climates, but rising temperatures could make cultivation possible in areas like England, Germany, and southern Scandinavia.
- Traditional wine regions like Bordeaux may become too hot and dry for wine production due to the changing climate.
- While Scotland is expected to remain too cold for vineyards, increased temperatures in England could boost wine production there.
- The UK's average annual temperature is projected to rise significantly by 2100.
