English wine dares to be different - by Andy Neather

English winemakers are raising their game this English Wine Week, pushing through economic challenges and unpredictable weather to produce better quality wines than ever before. UK wineries are experiencing a tourism boom, welcoming 1.5 million visitors in 2024, a 50% jump from just two years ago, whilst new resources like the UK Vineyard Guide app are making it easier for people to explore homegrown wines. It's a timely reminder that England and Wales are establishing themselves as serious players in the global wine market.
