You cannot reasonably dimension wind power to serve the winter heating needs of northern Europe. Once you get halfway there you're summer surpluses get so huge, inefficient seasonal storage becomes a much better solution.

Perhaps southern Europe will counteract as well: less need in the winter and energy required for increased cooling with heat pumps in the summer
