Apparently, Mr Fredrik Slotte on the Finnish island of Aland in the Baltic Sea grows vines on a small vineyard. He hopes to soon produce some 100 bottles of wine. The problem is that this Finnish vineyard came to the attention of someone in the EU agricultural administration and made him think: “If the climate up there is warm enough to grow wine in Finland, why should we then pay a lot of money for agricultural support to Finland for agriculture in an artic climate?”… Is this true? We read it in the New York Times!
