Ours have won awards, I'm not sure about the Danes. He needs Nordic wine! the more northern the better!
Well apparently not:And I agree with ficuscarica that grapes need to be grown in a very arid condition to be good. I would think that grapes grown in colder climates would be very tart.
Grapes don't need arid conditions, they need a lot of water. What they need is strong sunlight to ripen and a long growing season.It is possible to grow grapes and make good wine in England and Wales but it is not easy - the U.K. is at the absolute fringe of the grape growing regions of the world. ...
The curious thing about the vine is that it actually produces the best wine at the limit of its possibilities. In very hot countries it produces quantity but not quality, in cool countries it can produce quality but not so much quantity. So in England, whilst disappointments will be many and quantities will generally be small, quality can be outstanding and can equal or beat the best of any other wine-producing country in the world.
The south of England just about meets that criteria, France and Germany do too but arid parts of Spain often have to irrigate vineyards.
