WINEGB CALLS THE 2025 HARVEST 'A VINTAGE OF OUTSTANDING QUALITY'
UK wine producers are celebrating what looks like their best vintage on record for 2025. The driest summer ever meant an unusually early harvest with ripest fruit and outstanding quality, plus they're expecting the second-largest volume ever at 15-16 million bottles. WineGB's also flagging some serious momentum for English and Welsh wines overall—exports are up 35% and the sector's grown from 4% to 9% annually over five years, so this quality vintage could be a real turning point for the industry.
