UK vining pea growers' and freezers' responses to potential global warming
The paper uses a study of both farmers and agencies in Lincolnshire and Humberside who are involved with vining pea production for the frozen pea market to explore the nature of the farmer-processor relationship and to examine the implications
of this for the adaptation of vining pea production to the imposition of global warming.

A method for surveying the suitability of cold climate vinegrowing sites in Denmark is presented with focus on limiting growth parameters. The four most important parameters are identified. These are: i) Sum of growing degree days (SDD), ii) Risk
of frost damage, iii) Number of sunshine hours during growth season, and iv) Soil drainage. A two-step method based on GIS and already existing climate, soil, and topographic data is implemented. First the most suitable areas in Denmark for vinegrowing
Zealand, and eight well-suited vinegrowing terroirs are identified.

Supérieure (VDQS), Vin de Pays, and Vin Ordinaire. Traditionally, L-R has been the land of table wine for the average Frenchman (and Frenchwomen) to enjoy daily. Recently, some growers in L-R have received AOC designation for wines made from traditional
grapes of the region, mainly Carignane, Grenache, and Cinsault. However, growers and wineries focusing on non-traditional grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon produce Vin de Pays that is superior to the L-R AOCs. - (SLD)
The book deals with the local history and geography along the small river Unstrut. The region is characterized by warm and dry climate, old castels and settlements, vine-growing and pressing. The valley of Unstrut is an important recreational area

The Tokaj-Hegyalja wine-growing area is the most famous and best known among in Hungary. The size of the area is 890 km2 in total. Depending on time and space 5,000–8,000 hectares have been used to grow wines. The criteria of a wine-growing area

The economic life of the Tokaj area has ever been based on vine-growing. Its morphological, climatic and soil conditions are described. Trends in land use change are shown characterized by the expansion of vineyards, even at the expanse of orchards
