  • 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.
