Agreed with all that you've said, but there are many varieties that require only a certain amount of cold. They could (at least according to me) be also grown in many places of southern hemisphere, most notably in southern South America. What they surely require is good humidity, enough shade and enough sun... Maybe that's why they are succesful in Florida. They would certianly suffer in Italy, Greece or Spain. Not only because of the drought.
