description Poland is not a country that anyone would associate with wine culture and wine landscapes, although this was not the case in the past. Until the end of the European medieval period, in the south and southwest of the lands of contemporary Poland, vineyards were a frequent feature of the cultural landscape and wine, regardless of self-consumption, was a lucrative object of trade with the Scandinavian countries (without compete with Mediterranean countries). The Little Ice Age and wars, followed by the partition of Poland between powerful neighbors: Russia, Prussia and Austria-Hungary, and a socialist policy of central planning, put an end to wine production in Poland. Today we are witnessing a renaissance of national wine production and the expansion of vineyards on an unprecedented scale. We are also witnessing the return of wine landscapes to Polish lands. The reasons for this return to almost forgotten traditions are complex. In this text we will try to outline them, although it is increasingly clear that global warming is playing an important role in changing the wine map of the world. The change in climate is harming many crops, but the vine in Poland is in favour.

Polonia no es un país que cualquiera asociaría con la cultura del vino y los paisajes vinícolas, aunque no fue así en el pasado. Hasta finales de la época medieval europea, en el sur y suroeste de las tierras de la Polonia contemporánea, los viñedos eran un rasgo frecuente del paisaje cultural y el vino, independientemente del autoconsumo, era un lucrativo objeto de comercio con los países escandinavos (sin competir con los países mediterráneos). La Pequeña Edad de Hielo y las guerras, seguidas de la repartición de Polonia entre vecinos poderosos: Rusia, Prusia y Austria-Hungría, y una política socialista de planificación centralizada, acabaron con la producción de vino en Polonia. Hoy asistimos a un renacimiento de la producción nacional de vino y a la expansión de los viñedos a una escala sin precedentes. También asistimos al regreso de los paisajes vinícolas a tierras polacas. Las razones de este retorno a tradiciones casi olvidadas son complejas. En el presente texto intentaremos esbozarlas, aunque cada vez está más claro que el calentamiento global está desempeñando un papel importante en el cambio del mapa vitivinícola del mundo. El cambio del clima está perjudicando a muchos cultivos, pero la vid en Polonia goza de su favor. A Polónia não é um país que alguém associaria à cultura do vinho e às paisagens vitivinícolas, embora tal não fosse o caso no passado. Até ao final do período medieval europeu, no sul e sudoeste das terras da Polónia contemporânea, a vinha era uma característica frequente da paisagem cultural e o vinho, independentemente do autoconsumo, era um objeto lucrativo de comércio com os países escandinavos (sem competir com os países mediterrânicos). A Pequena Idade do Gelo e as guerras, seguidas pela divisão da Polónia entre vizinhos poderosos: Rússia, Prússia e Áustria-Hungria, e uma política socialista de planeamento central, puseram fim à produção de vinho na Polónia. Assistimos hoje a um renascimento da produção vitivinícola nacional e à expansão da vinha numa escala sem precedentes. Assistimos também ao regresso das paisagens vinícolas às terras polacas. As razões deste regresso a tradições quase esquecidas são complexas. Neste texto tentaremos delineá-los, embora seja cada vez mais claro que o aquecimento global está a desempenhar um papel importante na mudança do mapa vitivinícola mundial. A mudança climática está a prejudicar muitas culturas, mas a vinha na Polónia está a favor.
