There are around 400 English vineyards producing around 2million bottles per year. The biggest English vineyard is Denbies in Dorking - its 250 acres lie just 20 miles from London. So, what’s English wine like? The whites tend to have floral bouquets, the reds vary from light to some full-bodied and the sparkling is a great success, with English sparkling wines beating the best of Champagnes in tastings.
