Abstract
Last year in Paris, for the very first time, English sparkling wine beat champagne in a blind
tasting event. Well established French Champagne houses have started buying fields in
Britain to grow grapes, and even the royal family is investing in this new venture.
At the same time, coffee-growing regions are shrinking and shifting. Farmers are being
forced to move to higher altitudes, as the band in which to grow tasty coffee moves up the
mountain.
The evidence that climate change is affecting some of our most prized beverages is simply
too great to be ignored. So while British sparkling wine and the beginning of the
"coffeepocalypse" were inconceivable just a few decades ago, they are now a reality. It’s
unlikely that you’ll find many climate deniers among winemakers and coffee connoisseurs.
But there are far greater impacts in store for human society than disruptions to our favorite
drinks.
