In 2006, a British sparkling wine was voted best in the world. Sound too good to be true? It isn`t. At the time of the compilation of the ” Domesday Book” in the late 11th century, vineyards were recorded in 46 places in southern Engl&, from East Anglia through to modern-day Somerset. By the time Henry VIII ascended the throne there were 139 sizable vineyards in England & Wales
- 11 of them owned by the Crown, 67 by noble families & 52 by the church. It is not exactly clear why the number of vineyards declined subsequently. Some have put it down to an adverse change in the weather which made an uncertain enterprise even more problematic. Others have linked it with the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. Both these factors may have had some part to play but in all probability the decline was gradual (over several centuries) & for more complex reasons. It was not until after the Second World War that the wine business began a resurgence. An ever-increasing number of pioneers joined & during the 1960s, 70s & 80s, there was a rapid increase in the number of English vineyards to a figure well over 400 by the late 80s/early 90s. The total area under cultivation rose to more than 2, 000 acres. The trade is now stable with some 300 vineyards spread over the length & breadth of Britain & is set to double production in the near future in order to cope with the huge demand for its wines. This is in sharp contrast to the state of vineyards elsewhere in the world, & is due to both improving weather conditions & perhaps even more so to the improvements in wine-making ability & grape-growing in the UK over the past few years. David Harvey has spent a year travelling around these vineyards, from Chateau de la Mare in Jersey to Leventhorpe in Yorkshire, & from the big challengers to Champagne, Nyetimber Vineyard in Sussex to great small producers like historic Tintern Parva in Wales. In this enlightening guide book, they are detailed & described along with tasting notes & product details. This is the one essential book you will need to learn about this fascinating but largely ignored trade.

” An exhilarating wine book... No serious wine lover`s library is complete without it” Wine Spectator Grapes & Wines is the key to enjoying modern wine. Approaching wine through grapes is in tune with the way consumers now think & learn about wine. Most wines, especially those from the Americas, Australasia & South Africa, are now sold under the name of the grape variety used rather than under the old European system of chateau & appellation name. You`re standing in a wine shop & see bottles labeled Aglianico or Tannat. Do you know what they are? Garnatxa sounds familiar & it is, as it is the Basque name of the popular Grenache grape, but how do you know this? You`ve heard of Carmenere from Chile, & probably bought the wine, but did you know it is an old historic Bordeaux variety? This is the perfect book to help you find out more about the world`s top classic grapes, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Zinfandel
- the history, the places, the people, the wine styles & the flavours are covered in detail. It is also just the book for dipping into as you come across an unfamiliar grape variety. Grapes & Wines has been thoroughly revised & updated.
