They make some pretty good bubbly and there is no reason it should not be good because our climate and soil conditions are similar to Champagne. |

That has become a major product here. We are pretty well guaranteed to have temperatures drop to -18 early enough in winter that the birds don't get all the grapes.

Yes, although the UK has always been more popular than the US, at least in Europe and Australia. Any European country's more popular than the US, although I'm not sure about Albania. -- The other Dave Smith. |

We have a thriving wine industry here in Niagara. 50-60 years ago the local wine was rot gut. Then a couple of guys started working with varietals and made some good wines. Others followed suit and now it is a major industry. Our climate is similar to the that of some of the great wine regions in France. |
