And yet, for twenty years pioneers have been fighting against the elements to plant vines in the south of the Scandinavian kingdom.

Efforts that are starting to pay off: Today, around fifty winegrowers sell their production.

Better still: the Swedish climate makes it possible to obtain fresh, tonic white wines, which is becoming more and more difficult in southern Europe because of global warming.

A prospect which encourages many young people to invest in the vineyard.
