The preference for buying local may have seen sales of English and Welsh wine soar, but with the most affordable bottles not far off double the £6.34 UK average, could it be cheaper? I asked Sam Linter, director of WineGB – the association of English and Welsh winemakers – and managing director of Bolney Wine Estate in Sussex.
I remember reading some disturbingly cheery articles about English wine over the summer and how the rising temperatures are going to be great on that score.
Obviously, it’s not great at all for the Earth’s climate to be like this – that is a huge worry.
