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.
