Extreme weatherepisodes like unusual heat and damaging frosts are upending thepractices and economics of winemaking, and in some cases,changing the taste of the wine itself – from Napa Valley toSpain, Italy, and France. But the rising temperatures havealso had other unforeseen effects, like in Great Britain,where the warming weather has been a boon to England's wineindustry. Lesley Stahl traveled to France and Great Britain todocument the impact of climate change on the great wine regionsof the world.
