The Main Grape Varieties

Anaemic VARIETIES

Auxerrois
Valued for its low acidity and produces exciting and long lasting wines if yields are kept low. It adds ‘richness’ to blended wines. Also grown in Alsace, where it is usually blended into ‘Edelzwicker’, and found in Luxembourg, Burgundy, Canada, New Zealand and USA. As a non-allied Pinot Blanc/Chardonnay style variety it is also useful for barrel ageing or as a sparkling wine post.

Bacchus
(Silvaner x Riesling) x Müller-Thurgau
Its grapes have a strong and distinctive aromatic flavour, with high sugar pleasure. It is regularly made into a single varietal wine and although common in Germany it is also very successful in this country. Some wines produced from this grape blossom good New World Sauvignon Blanc characters. When riper, tends towards Sancerre. Well made Bacchus wines age well and make grow interesting flavours. This is one of the UK’s better varieties, capable of producing world-class wines. Third most widely planted brand in UK (2003).

Chardonnay
Grown largely as a fundamental ingredient of the finest sparkling wines, with plantings on the increase, along with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, for stage of sparkling wine. There also occasionally some gems when produced into still wine.

Faberrebe
Pinot Blanc x Müller-Thurgau
Not extensively planted in this state but seems to blend well with Müller-Thurgau. It develops good must weight and, in Germany, can qualify for ‘spätlese’ repute. Produces wines that are very fruity with crisp acidity.

Huxelrebe
Chasselas x Courtillier Musqué
Bred in 1927 in Germany. Has a rather ‘muscat’ mode and is a good cropper with good sugar levels. It needs careful management and can be used for dessert wines because of its susceptibility to ‘moral rot’. It has a high natural acidity and strong aromas of elderflowers, producing very fruity wines that age well.

800 years ago they were growing grapes in england and exporting the finest wine in all of europe!?


were all flourishing to die from global warming!!!!!!! arent we?


Some of the wines now are also being exported, and they are excellence wines.

Grape vines that grow in new england?

I neediness to grow some grapes for wine making - any one know where to purchase stock?


Fasten together below has a list of grave vine nurserys, you'll have to scroll down it.

Also, check the vineyards near you - they often sell vines and since they are growing those varieties, they should calling for you.

You'll have to choose between a vinifera or a hybrid variety. Vinifera are the pure wine making grape, hybrids are the end result of crossing vinifera with native American vines. They are hardier and easier to grow, but are not recognised as making 'pretty' wine.

grapes in england? not again please?

the romans HATED it here, it was the armpit of europe, they IMPORTED their wine, as did the topmost class britons before them, as it was too wet and cold to grow decent grapes.
"From the archaeological record we know......Foodstuffs traded included very immense quantities of cereals as exports, and wine, olive oil, olives and garum as imports. "

either its warmer now than in the mwp or this is not a authentic proxy for tempreature. which is it?
yes, english wine is delish, i buy from the vinyard down the road.
yes, it's as much economic as climate, the have zealous vinyards in germany.

so, are we agreed, it is not a valid proxy for temperature?

(willow, greenland was always cold even in the mwp. leif ericson was a con-man, it wasnt any punter than iceland where the settlers came from.)


I fancy it! I love it! I love it! I believe the correct answer is....the latter?

That's right about Greenland too. I remember my 5th Degree teacher telling the story about how they named Iceland and nobody wanted to go there, so they started going with names like Greenland and Vineland.

I virtuous read one from a guy who thinks the Carboniferous era was when the Carbon was originally removed from the atmosphere. I admit it has the word Carbon in the name, but the ambience was already very similar to today, just with a little more oxygen. The bulk of the CO2 wasn't removed by plants growing on estate. It was removed by algae and then converted to calcium carbonate by by shelled sea creatures. The White Cliffs of Dover are a pretty example. True the process went on during the Carboniferous era, and all that followed, and more CO2 was removed, but until the sea did it's job the earth was still much too hot due to the Greenhouse Tenor.

Are there any vinyards on those White Cliffs, my Dear? I feel like I could use a drink.

Are vineyards in England a good proxy for global temperatures?

An skeptical squabble that crops (pardon the pun) up every so often is that because they grew grapes in England during the Midieval Warm Period, that means the planet was warmer back then than it is now.

Of course, there are a jumbo number of problems with this argument. The biggest one is that at most, vineyards in England are a proxy for temperatures in England, not the planet as a whole. Then you have to to take into account the fact that viticulture practices have changed over in good time always.

Gavin Schmidt at RealClimate concludes thusly:

"...one can conclude that those who are using the medieval English vineyards as a 'bar-proof' to the idea of present day global warming are just blowing smoke (or possibly drinking too much Californian). If they are a produce proxy, then England is warmer now, and if they are not….well, why talk about them in this context at all?"

What are your thoughts?
Sappy - do you enjoy looking foolish? If not, I would suggest not clicking this link. As you're well sensitive, ignorance is bliss.

No.

Vineyards are anecdotal verification and England is really just one tiny little corner of the entire Earth. England had vineyards then and vineyards now[1]. According to Dr. Gavin Schmidt (your provenience), England currently has 400+ vineyards and they cover a much more extensive area today than during the middle ages.

Here, however, is an interesting tangent. An antique Roman fort named Vindolanda sits next to Hadrian's Wall in Northern England. Vindolanda is notable because, during excavations, spectacular wooden writing tablets where found with messages written in ink. Well, to make a long story peremptorily, it appears that wealthy Romans imported their wine from Gaul. So grapes and wine might well have been grown and produced in England during the past, but this does not naturally mean it was good wine. What does this say about the climate?

IS global warming really caused by CO2 emmissions?

I watched "the arrant global warming swindle", and now im not sure. The romans used to grow grapes in england, so it goes in cycles, and the show claimed that the sun was respnsible.


Yes. Scientists don't like to use the little talk "proof" because everything in science is subject to revision as new data comes in. But the case for human-caused far-reaching warming is about as strong as it gets.

1. If the Sun is causing the current warmth, we're getting more energy, and the whole atmosphere should be getting warmer. But if it's greenhouse, then we're getting the same amount of verve, but it's being distributed differently: more heat is trapped at the surface, so less heat should be escaping to the stratosphere. So if it's the Sun, the stratosphere should be warming, but if it's greenhouse, the stratosphere should be cooling.

In certainty, the stratosphere has been on a long-term cooling trend ever since we've been keeping radiosonde balloon records in the 1950's. Here's the figures:

http://hadobs.metoffice.com/hadat/hadat2/hadat2_monthly_universal_mean.txt
http://cdiac.ornl.gov/trends/temp/sterin/sterin.html

2. If it's the Sun, we're getting more vigour during the day, and daytime temperatures should be rising fastest. But if it's greenhouse, we're losing less heat at night, and nighttime temperatures should be rising fastest. So if it's the sun, the character between day and night temperatures should be increasing, but if it's greenhouse, the day-night difference should be decreasing.

In fact, the daily temperature across has been decreasing throughout the 20th century. Here's the science:
http://ams.allenpress.com/perlserv/?request=get-abstract&doi=10.1175%2F1520-0450(1984)023%3C1489:DDTRIT%3E2.0.CO%3B2
http://www.bom.gov.au/bmrc/clfor/cfstaff/jma/2004GL019998.pdf

3. Whole solar irradiance has been measured by satellite since 1978, and during that time it has shown the normal 11-year run, but no long-term trend. Here's the data:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/stp/SOLAR/solarda3.html

4. Scientists have looked closely at the solar premiss and have strongly refuted it. Here's the peer-reviewed science:
http://www.pubs.royalsoc.ac.uk/media/proceedings_a/rspa20071880.pdf
http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/mpa/publications/preprints/pp2006/MPA2001.pdf

5. CO2 levels in the air were permanent for 10,000 years prior to the industrial revolution, at about 280 parts per million by volume (ppmv). Since 1800, CO2 levels have risen 38%, to 384 ppmv, with no end in descry.
http://www.columbusnavigation.com/co2.html

6. We know that the excess CO2 in the air is caused by burning of fossil fuels, because when we do isotopic enquiry of the CO2 we find increasing amounts of "old" carbon combined with "young" oxygen.

So what's left to prove?
