London: The Sunday Times has unearthed a new study by American climatologists which claims classic Mediterranean wines will be overtaken by British and Baltic varieties as a result of changes in the climate. Sussex and Kent are potential producers of champagne while Devon and Cornwall could make Claret-like wines. The cooler climes of Scotland, Denmark, Estonia and Latvia could create white wine. Alan Holmes, head sommelier at Petrus is even considering offering Nyetimber, a sparkler from West Sussex, on his menu.
