We have a long way to go until we are as warm as the Northern Hemisphere was in the middle ages when they grew grapes in Britain.



There's a vineyard around 30 miles from me at Coxley in Somerset. (It's on the road between Wells and Glastonbury)



Quote:

The four acres of vines which surround the hotel and conference facilities were planted in 1984. The grapes are a German variety, Riesling and Seyval which are ideally suited to the soils and climatic conditions in this part of Somerset.

Each year, 600 to 800 bottles of wine are produced from the grapes. The pressing is carried out locally. The wine has a medium dry fruity flavour similar to the German Riesling and Seyval wines. Bottles are of course available in our own restaurant, or to purchase and take away.
