I wonder if Global warming will warm the Earth up to the tempreture it was about 1200 years ago , when there were vinyards in England.

They STILL grow grapes for wine in England.

Wine made from English-grown grapes is "English wine"
Wine made from imported grapes or concentrate is called "British wine."

Observe that when the Vikings landed and settled in Canada, thety called it "Vineland the Good"

Why do you say "STILL"?  There has been a hiatus of nearly a millennium!
Global warming has only recently returned the Earth to the temps normal to a thousand years ago.

the English wine industry, which is small (some 400 vineyards spread thinly throughout the southern half of England and Wales (with just a few further north) and comparatively recent in origin (the oldest English vineyards are only about 40 years old).
