There’s a vineyard near me that does sparkling wines and they’re excellent. I know the owners and I’ve even helped pick the grapes.
Fruit pickers of the world unite.
🙌‼️🇬🇧 Fantastic ‼️🙌❤️🍇🍇🍇🍷🍷🍷❤
Reversion to norm.
In 1250 the monks at Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire made excellent Red Wines.
Maybe.
But since then the world COOLED dramatically.
You need to learn.
Global cooling.
Man-made climate change.
How did we do it in 1300?
Need to do it again..

In the mediaeval period there were vineyards in Yorkshire.
Yes exactly. The mediaeval warm period which Al Gore's infamous 'Hockey Stick' chart conveniently left out...
Some lovely English wine, have to watch out for the ones using foreign grown grapes.
Ain’t a lot of food come from other countries
@@run2cat4run really, sure about that are you
@@run2cat4run I have no problem with that to cover periods that can not be grown commercially in the UK such as bananas or are out of season for UK growing, just as long as they do not originate from the EU. Especially meat products due to the lower food standards in the EU, did you know the EU have reversed the ban on using the remains of animal carcuses to be turned into animal feed, this is what lead to the spread of mad cow disease and of course is rightly outlawed in the UK with our higher food standards
@@whysa4 and yet the water companies are dumping sewage into our seas
Taunton Dry Blackthorn Cider is made with Italian apple pulp.
The Romans made wine in Scotland. It was much warmer then.
The UKs future is to produce world class food, drinks, travel digital, tech and science
We were once but since Brexit not anymore
@@run2cat4run yawn, nothing as boring as someone who just can't see positivity in life.
@@run2cat4run You are wrong pal. Last year, the UK became just the third country in the world to have a tech sector valued at $1 trillion, with more billion-dollar tech startups being created than Germany, France and Sweden combined.During 2022, fast-growing UK tech companies raised near-record levels of funding at £24 billion.
Absolutely but the remainers won’t allow this as it doesn’t fit the failing Britain narrative to push the return to the eu
@@run2cat4run No you 1m86c16 - Brexit has already benefitted the UK. In the matter of processed food stuffs the UK no longer has the 'reciprocal anti-EU tariffs' imposed by non-EU countries against its products.
The UK is the SOLE European 'digital hub', new tech centre and in science there is no EU nation with the same research facilities and only Switzerland comes second in Europe..
Time and again you fanatics know nothing of the facts, jut propaganda.
Dorset produces better sparkling wine than the EU countries. They have won prestigious awards.
Wine from Buckfast Abbey is probably the best selling wine in Scotland. Drunk mostly by bampots though.
The Romans made wine in Britain
When Britain was about 10C WARMER.
Learn the science of our planet.
@@markdowse3572 was that the horse and carts causing that 😂
@@anotherbrickoutthewall9237 Aaaaah, NO!
@@markdowse3572 ahhhh so the climate changes drastically without mankind's tiny input! Thought so... Lucky for me history and science are my favourite subjects. Look into the long history of the earth's climate with Randall carlson
All proceeds given to boat migrants.
Throughout Britain’s history, it has produced incredible wine.
Since when?
@@markdowse3572 Since ever, English vineyards have won prizes in French tasting contests. The amount of wine produced in England is tiny, so also sold at a premium.
Domesday Book in 1086 recorded 42 vineyards. Mostly at monasteries.
The first commercial modern vineyard was in 1952.
@@stephfoxwell4620 Fascinating . Why do you think that the Monasteries were not producing commercially?
I am pretty sure that there were other commercial vineyards before 1952.
Monasteries were not like modern businesses,but yes they would have sold wines locally.
My point is the climate was much warmer before 1350.
We then entered a mini ice age until about 1850.
Conditions were less conducive to vines.
Monasteries were all gone by 1540 but some stately homes produced wines.
The last closing in 1875 at Castell Coch in Wales.
So the first modern vineyard was at Hambleton in Hampshire in 1952.
During the two World Wars land was used for higher yielding food crops.
I've made some beautiful wine, made from grapes grown in Surrey
the tories have had 12 years to rebuild the economy with boosting industrys what have they done nowt at least labour created industrys not shut them down.
We are world class at whining. 🤫🤐
I'll drink to that!
Buckfast FTW!
I love climate change
Wish it was warmer in winter and not minus 7 degrees
The English enjoy a good whine....
Is that your attempt at humour as you have a very English sounding name , you must be speaking from your own personal experience.
As an Englishman I can conserved.
We can all do our bit to support our vineyards in the UK, but can we start to produce Rum too 😊
In your DREAMS!
Do you have any idea what is needed for RUM production?
Seems NOT.
But being a Aussie different SENCE OF HUMOUR I understand 😂
@@markdowse3572 I was JOKING 🤪
@@Dus1234 Sense.
Many of the other comments were praising English wines and whines. I had no idea you were joking. Sorry, mate.
@@markdowse3572 accepted 😂
Thank god we are finally leaving the little ice age, Britain is back to when the Romans were governing it
There won't be another Boudica though.
Exactly! Remind just stop oil and the rest of the climate doom mongers
Good , now we can buy less of that french muck ! It ain't cheap and the price needs to come down a little but it is quality , you get what you pay for
Well, you haven't tried the right French wines ...
You dont understand you will never produce world class wine cause here there’s not world class weather
Whilst you don't understand much at all , there are names for people like you but most are rude and unprintable so we'll leave it there .
You need to do some research english wines win international awards quite regularly
I live in South Eastern England. Due to climate change, the climate here is now about the same as it was in France some decades ago. Kent and Sussex, already known for its fruit industry now has a perfect wine growing climate.
As an Aussie (from where the BEST wines in the world are made) I simply ask WHAT wines are the UK making?
Cool climate wines for sure. But exactly what grapes are being grown? And how are they sure they are making QUALITY? Are they using oak?
Needs a HALF HOUR PROGRAM.

I have a friend who grows grapes and produces wine in South Wales. The vine stocks are French. I don't know what types of barrels he uses. Mix of old and new. But his wines are nice. He has won many trophys for his wines in France and Germany. I normally take a case or two for a friend in Germany.
Typical retort from a thick Australian
70% of English wine is sparkling. It is generally made from the Champagne varieties, Pinot Noir, Champagne and Pinot Meunier, using similar techniques. Sometimes the base wines are aged in oak but mostly, as in Champagne, stainless steel is used. The quality is on a par with similarly priced Champagne. Still wines (most of which are white) are generally made from the above three grape varieties plus other cool climate varieties such as Bacchus, Seyval Blanc and Solaris.
@@clubrower Awesome. Thanks for the feedback! 🤗
Sparking wine = oak not required
