Some of the top champagne houses have been investing in English
vineyards where some superb bubblies have been made in recent
years.
As I understand it, some of the wine crops are moving a bit
northerly due global warming.

I thought it had more to do with the increasing popularity of
wine. 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.

When we came here in 1967 there was only Andre's wine available.
David bought a bottle of red, we found it undrinkable so I used it
up in a casserole. Nobody wanted to eat the casserole and when I
gave it to the dog, he turned his nose up at it and it's not often
Lab's would do that!

It's not smart to offer any food containing alcohol to pets... dogs
and cats can't process alcohol, it's toxic. Even a dish that's been
heated substantial alcohol remains.

LOL, had a cat who was a teatotaler I guess. He loved Rum and Cokes.

I used to, but I think that Dewar & Coke is better.
