Did you know that there are more than 400 vineyards in England and that some English sparkling wines can compete with, and even outclass, champagne?
In last year’s International Wine Challenge, English wines won no less than 21 medals. The judges said that English wine, and sparkling wine in particular, had performed particularly strongly. Tim Atkin, a master of wine and chairman of the awards said: “English wine is finally showing that it should no longer be regarded as a cottage industry but as an industry which can produce world-class wines.” (The Independent, 2007)
Through my Wine Cellar I hope to be able to explore all of what England has to offer in terms of wine, and I would like to invite you to join me on this journey.
