‘We are delighted and honoured that HRH The Duchess of Cornwall has agreed to be our new President,’ UKVA chairman Ian Edwards said.
‘Her support for this growing industry acknowledges the phenomenal growth in awareness of English and Welsh vineyards and wines.’

by Adam Lechmere – Australian Riesling is infinitely superior to New Zealand’s, according to a Decanter panel of eight New World Riesling experts.
Earlier this year the panel tasted 79 Australian and 55 New Zealand Rieslings from a variety of vintages, the majority from 2010 and 2009 with a handful of vintages going back to 2005 and earlier.

by Adam Lechmere – A new website has been set up to showcase and sell English sparkling wines.
Sparklingenglishwine.com – which was launched two days ago – is the brainchild of three Plumpton College graduates and wine trade professionals.
The aim of the site is to showcase only the highest-quality English sparkling wine, managing director Jeremy Cook told Decanter.com.
Producers will be vetted by means of blind tastings, ‘or they must have won an award,’ Cook said.
Smaller producers will be able to piggy-back on the site without having to set up their own marketing and sales operation.
