There's a reason Poland is not well known for its wines.


2025-03-20 Rerun commentary: Lest I be seen as dismissive, there is a wine industry in Poland. Pretty much based on cool climate grapes, as one might expect. Though as Wikipedia's article notes, climate change in the next few decades is likely to make Poland more suitable for growing grapes, and potentially turn it into a major wine producer.
