What an excellent video, very informative and entertaining. The only thing I i don't like about it is that it has so low views, this is a highly underrated talk.... Thanks for giving experts like Dr. Jones a platform to show their findings.
The Romans grew grapes as far north as southern Scotland, something that viticulturists are just now getting going again. So no, it's not warmer now than any time in recorded history, unless you think recorded history began 150 years ago. 300-400 years ago was the coldest period of the past 10,000 years and we're still warming from that cold period.
Then again, the question isn't just growth- but quality. Grapes are incredibly resilient, especially if they were sourced from across the empire to suit the climate. The Romans however didn't praise the quality of Scottish grown grape wine, they often mixed and made more of a vermouth- it's a comparison of corn varieties used for South American masa v Sweetgrowing monoculture corn. So I hate to say it but your comment is incredibly A->B. This talk is about crops which grow well in small delicate climates for their "ultimate purpose"... Growing grapes for basic fermented juice/consumption v Growing grapes for culturally important wine(And subsequently its affects on civilization.)
Every system of measurement is an arbitrary human invented nonsensical group of numbers. Frankly, Farenheit is more accurate. Centigrade has 100 degrees between freezing and boiling. Farenheit has 180 degrees making farenheit the more accurate scale. The talk was given in the USA. The USA uses Farenheit and speaks in English. If he spoke in Italy he would use Centigrade and speak in Italian. Why drive on the left vs the right? Life is messy and arbitrary. Live with it.

Love the growing season grid. Thanks!
Interesting n informative talk. Thank you, bless you. All your dreams come true.
very useful video, helping me complete my assignment.
Excellent speech!
I'm considering in the coldest region in Poland Sauvignon Kretos or Nepis italian version of Sauvignon
this guy needed a sip of wine during this, he was smacking up a storm. Good talk though
A nice Cabernet with high tannins 😂

prove it
Good point, I agree.

Why oh why do you people insist with the farenheits.

If this is about wine Romans grew wine in Scotland 2000 years nothing to do with climate change
Kevin Whittingham you are right, but they TRIED TO, which is quite different. Altough you have a point too.
He said nothing
pay attention, speed it up by 1.5x
