I love red wines, don't let that happen again!!!! Internationally there will always be wine.

there were long periods of cold and often wet weather such that starting in the 14th century, vineyards in Northern Europe died to the extent that grains were substituted to brew beer and distill hard alcohol. By the time of large immigration of Europeans to America in the 17th and 18th centuries Northern Europeans had been brewing beer and distilling liquor instead of making wine for two centuries.

So just think, except for The Little Ice Age we'd be a nation where wine was a more popular drink than beer. Do you think that would have brought about other changes?

Hm-m-m-m.

Beer. I don't know if it's responsible for civilization, but I agree that it's been getting ugly men laid for over 10000 years.
